Well, the results are a bit different than I suspected."

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, if you stick a small piece of duct tape to the lower left side of the phone, it will fix the problem of inadvertently disrupting the signal on the new antenna. That's why it surprised me that Steve Jobs wanted to fix the problem for whatever cost it took. That's like keeping a promising pitcher who'll just ask for more money when his contract is up. So for you Cleveland Indian fans, here is what I propose to fix our attendance issues: "Tribe Tape."

		<description><![CDATA[So I sit there stunned. Opening day, blacked out, a game that is 384 miles away, according to the Google (just for grins, Yankee Stadium is 332 miles from here). Now my digital antenna that picks up local channels is supposed to reach 50 miles or so (on a good day), and even that leaves me over 300 miles short, and only if the game were on a local Boston channel.
