A big thank you to my west coast brother who let me know that today is National Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day. I wish I had some. But even more importantly, he answered my question from yesterday about the time delay between two TV sets. Since he has worked all his adult life in the electronics side of the television industry, I trust that he knows what he's talking about. Here is his explanation - "I would guess that you are watching using an antenna (true) and your friend is using cable or a streaming service (also true). All the digital processing can add up to 30 seconds. Even in the same house with two different cable boxes or cable and streaming there can be quite a difference." So now I know, and this actually makes sense to me. It also makes me feel slightly smug, knowing that, since I do use an antenna to watch TV, I get my news first as well as free.
