the Augusta Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau at the downtown museum. Something else to write Augusta news on to send around. Yesterday I heard on my scanner, my police scanner, somebody called and said that there was a man sitting on a porch in his underwear. If that would have been my daddy, he would not have reported the man. He would have gone over, taken off his pants and sat on the porch with the guy. Wow. and I thought Sightings should be called Whitings. That was before I got to the page in last week’s Spirit with all the pictures from June 4. So who at the hospital is updating the wait times in the ER that are on the billboards around town? I sure hope it’s not the doctors and nurses who are supposed to be keeping people from dying in the ER.

Summer Television What used to be a veritable wasteland of sad reruns and ancient syndicated shows is now a wonderland of bright, shiny newness. Of course, most of what’s offered falls under the catergory of cheesy reality TV, but for every “Jerseylicious” (don’t knock it till you try it) there’s a fantastic scripted series, from returning favorites like HBO’s “True Blood” and TNT’s “The Closer” and “Rizzoli and Isles,” to, um, interesting sounding new series. “ER”’s Noah Wyle fights aliens in “Falling Skies.” Elijah Wood leads a guy in a dog costume around in “Wilfred.” Whatever. We’ll watch it if it means we don’t have to go outside.
