    S04.E10: The Wilderness

    in The Handmaid's Tale

    More specifically Fred was handed over ON A BRIDGE at the US/Canadian border. Therefore it had to be upstate NY.

    Fred is driven around a bit. 

    Former handmaids drive to the kill site but there's no way they can just cross the bridge/bridges over the St. Lawrence River because its been previously established that those bridges are heavily guard. So the handmaids had to drive from Toronto up to the border at the top of New York, drive into Quebec and then cross the land border in Vermont/New Hampshire that for some reason is apparently unguarded, into "no man's land". Its ridiculous in that coordinating the meet up would be insane, its a ridiculous drive where June would not have time to get back to Toronto in the early morning. But it was Gilead, not Canada, likely Vermont or New Hampshire, and I can tell you from experience its not hard to find an abandoned stone structure out there. 

    If they're magically revealed to be in Canada, I will be really annoyed, and yes, there's all sorts of problems with this considering how locked down the border previously was depicted as. Not to mention handmaids taking that huge of a risk of being captured. 

    They can also cross from Canada to New York over the Niagara River in the Niagara Falls/ Buffalo area. There are three bridges, and it’s only a couple of hours from Toronto.

    This coming Tuesday the 25th my local station is pre-empting Jeopardy for the Rochester [NY] Mayoral Debate, but then then they will air it at 2:37 a.m.
    Thank you? 
    I will try to record.

    While I'm probably the only one here watching via Rochester NY's WROC CBS station, if anyone else encounter local pre-empting, I was able to see this via titantv.com.
    To see your lineup, at the top of the grid, begin your setup by clicking Broadcast Stations.

    I’m in Canandaigua, and WROC is where I watch it. I’ll check that out. Thanks.

    Google says "Today's Chincoteague sea temperature is 60 °F," which is just barely warm enough for me to swim, if the air is warm or at least it's sunny, which it looks like it will be this weekend there.🌞

    Here near Rochester, Lake Ontario is below 50 °F 😕 but Lake Canandaigua is already 58 °F and is the same distance from my daughter and her husband and also closer to his family, so maybe that's where I'll wind up buying a place.

    I live in Canandaigua, and it’s a great place, but if you want to live on the lake, be prepared to spend a million. There are plenty of reasonable places near the lake and in town, though, and we’re friendly.

    Season 37 Final Jeopardy Contest

    TAH TAH TAH! (Can't think of anything to rhyme with Monday.) The Winner of Week 34 has been selected. This week we have one standout, a player who, when I reviewed the scores of the past few weeks, I discovered has been recording scores in Morse code, unbeknownst to me, for seven weeks ... dot dot dash dash dash dot dot. Of course that's something meaningful, but it's in code so the real meaning is @GrannySmith's secret. Yes, I said GRANNYSMITH! The standout winner of Week 34. No one else was even close, so this award is all yours GrannySmith, all yours. No sharing, just enjoying. For a full week. Or longer, if you wish. Congratulations my friend! And here is your special certificate to document YOUR WEEK and make it official. Enjoy!1971277626_morse_230copy.jpg.12a31c7d84483a91e1bdd0083ab963e0.jpg

    What an honor!  Thank you so much.

    The Brown Kids

    in Sister Wives

    Curious, do you think Janelle and Christine put father unknown on their kids birth certificate? Advantage to them - it would make government assistance available.

    If they put down kody brown as father on birth certificate, he would be legally responsible for child support if they chose to leave.

    I know it's almost a moot issue once Truley turns 18, but wondering how the TLC Grifters played this.

    Bloated Ego (name on certificate) vs All Grifting, All The Time (unknown on certificate)

    Not sure about other states, but in New York State, the mother has to name the father or she can’t get any public assistance for the child. Then the state goes after the father for support.  This could slow bleeding the beast considerably.
