Georgian Ingenuity...

...or as I like to call it, "Why I feel at home in this janky little country."

So I'm sitting here in the teachers lounge admiring the new TV they set up yesterday. I can't help but notice the picture is fuzzy, and I consider getting up to make sure the cable is properly screwed in (in case you missed the memo, I am a tech goddess here. Stop laughing, dammit! It's true!). Before I make this [foolish] decision, I take a moment to see how they've got it hooked up, and that's when I notice the cable. 

It runs from behind the TV, across the glass faced cupboards (to which it's taped), up the window pane (to which it's also taped), and ends at the curtain rod. They've stripped the end of the cable, and hooked it over the rod, and that's how they're getting cable to their tv. 

With a curtain rod that's acting as a giant antennae.
