Retsy Series 1 · Card 0240 · 80-TEC
Three hundred channels, pointed at the sky.
A backyard satellite dish so huge it shaded the vegetable garden and creaked when it turned to find new channels.
The story · 1985
The family with the Moonbowl was suddenly everyone's favorite neighbor. The dish rotated slowly on a motor, groaning, while Dad stood inside with a remote hunting for channels from across the country. Kids played under it like it was a fort. When storms rolled in, the whole street wondered if it might take off.
Birds treated the dish as a giant birdbath, and every spring one family of robins refused to move out.
