PBS when did you first watch it? I have no idea. I did not watch any television from 1975 through 1993 or so. Not that I never watched TV, I caught a sporadic thing. But I did not have one and I found plenty of things to do to keep me busy.
As a kid, eight or ten or so I got up early to watch whatever they had when the station came online. There were some educational bits, one piece about the investor of safety glass. His sweetheart was sliced to ribbons in an automobile accident. He vowed to avoid it from happening again. The show showed him hitting panes of glass with a hammer over and over until he hit on layering (do not trust my memories here, but I think…) shellac or something Similar coating both sides with it.

It is worth the effort of typing that URL into your computer. James Clear is the author of MABE (I really need to get an eraser) Atomic Habits and has a weekly, on Thursdays, idea blog.
This week’s episode starts with:
For those who expect everything, there are many curses.
For those who appreciate everything, there are many blessings.
That is followed by two other quotes from him. Then there are two quotes. This one led off with a piece from Tiny Beautiful Things, Cheryl Strayed
Nobody’s going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you’re rich or poor, out of money or racking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortunes or terrible injustices. And you have to do it no matter what is
True. …
He, James Clear, then goes on to pose a question or two. I will leave it to you to find out for yourself.
I am going down a rabbit hold. Sesame Street started on PBS. According to Wikipedia Sesame Street rand from 1969 to 2015 on PBS. However, Wikipedia shows PBS launch date of being October 5, 1970. Somebody’s wrong here. More digging to do.
