new car (truck)

Alas, our old truck is costing too much in repairs to keep any longer, and a new truck has been purchased. It comes with satellite radio, I think that we won't renew the intro offer. Amazingly around here we have 2 college stations (you never know what you'll hear), 2 public broadcasting stations (1 has classical, 1 has everything else) an independent AM country station (oldies), and at night we get WSM. There's even a station with old music that my Grandmother would have tolerated. I can hear anything from bluegrass to big band to old blues to folk with very little or no commercials. And come to think of it my morning commute isn't ruined with all the traffic reports, cause... there isn't any! (suck on that you big city traffic cloggers, ha ha).

I grew up in the suburbs of DC, driving the Beltway as a teenager; lived (and commuted) in Seattle; while living in Portsmouth, VA battled I-264 traffic way more than I would like to remember - so I can enjoy peaceful drives now.
