Hmmm . . . that is pretty odd. I just checked on the TV, but it didn't mention it. I was going to post and tell you that I am getting ready to brave it and go get some groceries. I was going to offer to post when I got back in and let you know how it was . . . but now it doesn't matter! If I see anything on TV, I'll let you know!
