I was going 58, and I think I thought the speed limit was 55. Turns out it was 45. The ticket was $160. Maybe Bob will read this and hit the PayPal button for me.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1146699542355554642006-05-03T18:39:00.000-05:002006-05-03T18:39:00.000-05:00Andrew: First, try to get satellite radio, if you ...Andrew: First, try to get satellite radio, if you can. It's wonderful to listen to all kinds of programmed music without commercials. Trying to buy everything and deciding what to play takes a lot of trouble. I'd much rather have satellite radio than a iPod full of everything I've been able to figure out I like. And I think it's a lot cheaper overall. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think there are many reasons why I liked it better. Better sound on the car system. Better concentration when driving, especially on the musical performances (listening on the computer, I mostly cared about what Dylan had to say). The minimal commentary seemed cooler in the context of listening carefully to the music. Dylan's speaking voice sounded very rich on the car stereo, and his enigmatic hipster persona seemed more enticing. <BR/><BR/>When the show first came on and I realized it was the one I'd already heard, I decided to just drive to a café and get some work done. As I drove, I got hooked and rerouted out into the country, thus proving to myself how much I cared. I think the first time, I wasn't conscious of how special it was to me.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1146690779018227652006-05-03T16:12:00.000-05:002006-05-03T16:12:00.000-05:00Did you hear Dylan's promos last week for his show...Did you hear Dylan's promos last week for his show? "It'll be great! I can't wait! Don't be late!" said in his trademark gravely voice. I thought it was hilarious.YAMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546663942277262253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1146688158560777812006-05-03T15:29:00.000-05:002006-05-03T15:29:00.000-05:00I think I like the idea of the car as a necessary ...<I>I think I like the idea of the car as a necessary part of the radio.</I><BR/><BR/>Plus it helps further global warming, which those of us who live north of the Mason-Dixon line should be promoting at every opportunity.Smilin' Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501763605001379362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1146681728894124222006-05-03T13:42:00.000-05:002006-05-03T13:42:00.000-05:00Wheeler: I don't think I would just sit and listen...Wheeler: I don't think I would just sit and listen.
