   No television in our pod. We were going to mount the over-the-bed one that came with it, but nixed that. I am a died in the wool through-and-through geek/nerd maximus. Grew up and worked in Silicon Valley. Gimme a laptop, a wireless signal, and I'm good to go. No wireless signal? I have my iPad. I have a portable (and very compact) solar battery to run all my toys. I guess I'm not much of a real camper, huh?

I used to tell people that "roughing it" to me was no room service.  I think I'm moving beyond that, but I still need my geeky stuff.

	Nothing wrong with that Goody2Shz. I know the flat screen that came in ours new is not much, but we don't watch much tv. I like to watch the weather and local news. When the day is done Donna and I watch DVD'S of Andy Griffith, Big bang theory, and silly things for about 30 minutes, then we get the Bobble head and its lights out. I love the fresh air and walking and cooking outside and keeping the fire going, when night time comes we are worn out and looking forward to lights out.

	We sit around the fire surfing the net once the kids are in bed. :-)

	Never having frequented a "commercial" campground, we know what to expect in terms of media access and technical support from the Florida State Parks System- Zip! We also have absolutely no problem with that. We do enjoy morning news when the Tailgater can find the signal, and a DVD in the evening is nice from time to time. If there is a 4G cell close enough, a mobile hot spot gets us internet access if we need it. Most of out time, however, is spent relaxing and walking with the Campin' Cocker Spaniels. Music, always at a respectful level, is an important component of the "relaxing", so I have re-allocated a Bose Sound Dock to the R-Pod inventory, and I have loaded up one of our iPods with Classical, Jazz, and Blues playlists. (I left out the Rock, since it has to be played too loud.) I guess that makes it an "R-Pod iPod". It makes chillin' in the R-Dome a beautiful thing.

	Pod in a pod? I'm getting visuals of those Russian nesting dolls, but with a smaller R-pod inside of a bigger R-pod, inside of a bigger....
