How very right you are, Eric! I used to watch TLC quite frequently, but not very much anymore. Those were the days! Anyway, I'll definetly be tuning in and taping it tonight. It sounds very good. On my digital guide, when I push "Info" for the program, all it says is, "Two father-son teams have big loads to move."

Had to laugh at your comment, Eric--My daughter watches this channel a lot, so I've seen it when we've visited there. Pat turned the TV to that channel to see whether we got it, and there was the same old picture of somebody's worldly possessions being divided into "keep" and "sell" piles.

Anyway, the show's tonight, 9:00 Central Time, 10 Eastern and Pacific (from what I've been told).

TLC still has shows other than people redecorating another person's home? I remember when one could be fairly certain something interesting would be on that channel at just about any time.

I saw that too on one of the yahoo groups I belong too. I definately plan on watching it, it sounds neat. Apparently there also supposed to move a railroad depot or something like that.

My employee paper noted an upcoming TV program of possible interest:

"The recent moves of Big Boy No. 4023 and Centennial No. 6900 to the new Kenefick Park in Omaha are coming to TV. A documentary crew filmed both moves for the 'Mega Moves' TV series, and the Big Boy/Centennial episode is scheduled to air on the TLC cable network July 7 at 9 p.m. CDT. The episode also includes the move of a railroad depot in New Mexico."

That's tomorrow night--my wife will be manning the VCR for me.
