Many readers ask me, “Bob, what is life like in places where they don’t have cable TV, DVD shops, satellite dishes, Blu-ray and stuff like that?”
Well, it’s not so good, I’m afraid.
I am basing this answer entirely on 74 seconds of video showing a dingo named Dinky, who “sings” when people play the piano in this bar in Australia’s outback. He is the actual entertainment. I believe this is all the scientific research we need to do.
Oh yes, and we’re told that Dinky’s favorite tune is Beethoven’s ”Für Elise.” Get it? FUR Elise? I think someone may be having fun with us.
More outback news: I have a snake, and I’m not afraid to use it…

This is more entertaining than anything on cable or satellite TV. Then again, so is cleaning the refrigerator.
