I don't have it on tape, but I don't think it was Cleveland.
Of course, the last opportunity I had to see *that* episode, I blew it
off, so I couldn't tell you which city it was. Besides, that was a
filing error; they found the accurate map just in time to tell him not
to move because he was surrounded by mines....
Did you know that some days, the cable channel FX shows M*A*S*H as many
as 9 times??? Plus, weeknights, the Fox station in Austin shows 2
episodes -- one at 11PM, one at midnight.
(No, I don't have much of a life at the moment, and it's just *now*
gotten to the point where I can easily hold a book as I'm
breastfeeding. I've finished 3 books in the past week, though!)
