[BC] Tower down in Spokane

[Rob Atkinson]

only if you want to fork over around $30 each month to me for cable.  until 
then, i'll get my tv the free old fashioned way thanks.

that spokane station is damned lucky that section with the tv antenna didn't 
clip a guy on the way down and bring the whole thing down with it.  and that 
it didn't fall on the tx shack, or anyone if anyone was out there.  but they 
may have to take the whole tower down anyway....

Maybe we can get rid of the big towers all together?
