Discovery Channel "Some Assembly Required" visits Lyons salt plants

TV is not a vast cultural wasteland. There's the History Channel show on Salt Mines and now the Discovery Channel's "Some Assembly Required" series that includes a visit to a salt mine and evap plant. Lyons Salt hosted the show in its Lyons, KS, rock salt mine and, next door, Compass Minerals' evap plant was the scene for further videotaping. The shows usually air multiple times and the first series has been announced. You'll want to check your local listings, but here's the schedule: February 5 at 10 pm EST, February 6 at 2 am, February 9 at 8 pm and February 10 at 12 midnight. So, two nights with two screenings on each. Set your Tivo!
