Ken Burns' doc of Leonardo da Vinci is on PBS this evening and i think tomorrow as well.
In my opinion, everything that Ken Burns does is quality and a learning experience.

Same time as Monday night football. Texans vs Cowboys. Hmm.

Pro football doesn’t raise blip on my radar. But a hotel, restaurant, or way of packing I’m all over it.

Trying to watch it.
From what I can get, it is very interesting.
My big pet peeve is, if there are sub-titles to translate,
PUT THEM IN A TEXT BOX WITH ONE COLOR BACKGROUND AND A CONTRASTING COLOR TEXT!
White text against a sepia colored da Vinci drawing is useless.
This just isn't a pet peeve of this program. Lots of PBS shows I would love to watch but the illegible sub-titles are NUTS.
And yes, I agree, everything Ken Burns does is a quality learning experience. Just wish the sub-title folks would get a clue.
Sorry for detracting from your post.

Hi Sam
I am not a big football fan although I keep up with sports news. I don't even know who won but it must have been a good game.

Hello Hansen
I agree with you about the captions. I was having the same problem reading the captions.
And I hate to report this but I fell asleep half way through but will probably get to see it again.
I will be watching again tonight.

Don't know how many people know about this, but it sounds very cool and I'm visiting it in Florence in April!
