BTW, just before bed last night I was flipping channels and came across the annual Holiday Yule Log on the Madison Square Garden station (New York City) which, for those who don't know it, shows nothing but an image of logs flickering on the fire with holiday music in the background.

I heard a true story that a lady had fallen asleep on her couch and woke up, saw flames and called the fire department thinking her TV was on fire. It turns out that while she was asleep, the station she was watching had started showing a yule log.

BTW2- I'm also from upstate NY-- at the confluence of the Erie Canal and Chenango Canal (at least it was in the 1800s)
