It seems like just last week that I was contemplating the vicissitudes of time and whether or not I could possibly save it in a bottle. I've come to the conclusion that I can't. I wish that I could, I think it would be pretty swell. However, time doesn't allow for that sort of thing. Time isn't a solid (or liquid or gas) like that. Imagine if it were though.

Nature - “Violent Hawaii.” I've been telling Hawaii for years that it had to seek help, that it needed to go into some sort of anger management program. Hawaii did not listen. Hawaii never listens. Hawaii has volcanic eruptions, gigantic waves, and apparently snow. Oh Hawaii, seek help.

Masterpiece Mystery! – "Inspector Lewis, Series II – The Great and the Good." For those of you not steeped in British police drama culture, "Inspector Lewis" is a spinoff off of "Inspector Morse." For his series, Lewis heads to Oxford to solve crimes (this week he goes after those who assaulted a teenage girl). I'll certainly be watching (or will have watched it already depending on how things work out).
10:30 – 11:00PM
PBS Previews: National Parks. Soon, but not yet, PBS will airing a Ken Burns special all about our national parks. Apparently he thinks they were one of America’s best ideas. I know that because “America’s Best Idea” is the subtitle for the series. I’m like Sherlock Holmes.

Antiques Roadshow – "Spokane (Hour One)". Wow. I am amazed. This week the Roadshow is in Spokane. Spokane! Washington! Spokane, Washington! Say it with me one time: Spokane, Washington! Spokane, the town that can! Spokane, the town with a plan! Spokane, where a man can be a man! Spokane, where they have lots of old stuff for the Roadshow.
9:00 – 10:00PM
History Detectives. They’re back again! Those History Detectives are going to be puzzling out clues, working the scene of the crime, and hoping against hope to solve that greatest mystery of them all: how did Fred Flintstone manage to run fast enough that his big, heavy car started to move? Seriously now, that’s a question about history and one I feel ought to be answered sooner rather than later.
