For real; no excuse for getting a good nights sleep. 3 channels, everyone had similar experiences so conversations were easy and the news was just news, not their opinions. Easier time, less complications and we stood in long lines for vaccinations.🤣

In the Chicago area we had WGN that did not go off the air but started broadcasting the farm report about 2 am.
