Smile! You're On ___________

 I couldn't help but notice
all the cameras we saw during
our recent visits to the
Hershey Medical Center.
 But let's face it.  Or them.
 They're everywhere these
days!
 Security is a big deal.
 The late Alan Funk made a
fortune putting people on
TV with his 'Candid Camera'
program.
 Now you can get on TV just'
by walking down the street in
Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, or
Hazleton.
 Of course the audience will
be a little smaller. Usually
just one officer to scan the
monitors in between phone
calls and walk in complaints.
 If you'd like to get more
air time, or at least be recorded,
just visit most any store.
  Most have camera
systems now that routinely
scan the business.
 That's a good reason to remember 
an old broadcasting rule!
 Always assume the camera is
turned on and pointed at
you!
 It's a policy we really should
share with baseball players!
 Every stadium is loaded with
cameras.
 I've always wondered how they're
able to focus on one particular
player at the very moment he
ejects the shell of the sunflower
seed he's been chewing.
 But let's face it. Those cameras
we see all over the place aren't
in place to search for new talent!
 Usually they're there to catch
the 'bad guys.'
 That's why I'd like to see them
improve the quality.
 There's a bank drive through I
visit where the teller and I can
see each other in high
definition color.
 But every time I see a robbery
suspect from a convenience store
surveillance system on TV it
seems to be a grainy black and
white picture.
 I have learned, from watching
several,that robbers apparently
wear uniforms. They are dark
colored hoodies. Guess they look
good on camera,
 Anyway as you go about you day
remember that, like it or not, you're
likely to be a 'star' on
someone's screen.
 So comb your hair. Walk Tall.
 And smile!
 Hope all your NEWS is good!
