I noticed that one of the people I'm following ( @marlina ) is from Toronto and that reminded me of this old bit from the Johnny Carson show with Jay Silverheels, who played the Lone Ranger's sidekick Tonto. I hope you enjoy it, even if it is a bit simplistic these days: Does anyone even remember Johnny Carson anymore? Aw, I see the link doesn't work in a Discussion. Or maybe I just don't know how to do that yet. Anyone have a suggestion? Whoa, now it's working but my Pixabay image has disappeared. Plus my mention of @marlina doesn't seem to be working. I love technology.

Used to go to Saturday morning cinema ,where always the Lone Ranger was shown....when did life become so dependent on technology anyway?

the home computer and mobile phones have glued us to the tech and killed such simple joys for ever for many

@arthurchappell not to mention the price of a ticket, never mind the popcorn.

I remember Carson well. Now that he and Lettermen are gone, I don't bother with late night television.

I can't stay up so late anymore. I catch Fallon now and then.

I do remember Johnny Carson, but I remember Jay Silverheels better because I used to watch him as Tonto when I was a child.

I remember I read the name but I do not believe I ever saw one of his shows.
