Thing #20 YouTube

My husband has been a YouTube fan for a long time. He's called me many times to his computer to view silly cat videos, some old short videos of commercials and training films from the 40's and 50's and what can only be called "electricians humor". The video of the big arc is pretty neat though, and occasionally we see something so amazing, like a tugboat that ran into a bridge in high water, turned sideways, went under the bridge and then righted itself downstream. It ran as still pictures before YouTube.

It seems that many are viewing and having a great time making and posting these short films, and why not? What's on regular television is pretty dismal. There is a broad range of subject matter out there and one could spend hours and hours downloading and watching. It's a great way to use up time.
