Seduced by the Sirius Side of the Force
Jerry did it to us. :-) Actually, it was BJs; we went back there for pants and James noticed a Sirius universal kit with a car mount, home mount, antenna, and power source for both home and car. The unit itself, an XAct "Stream Jockey," is about the size of a PDA. It was not only a better price than I'd ever seen at Circuit City or Best Buy or Fry's, but there was a $30 rebate on it as well. I thought of the trip home, although we have a bunch of radio shows with us, and grabbed one. Then James grabbed one, too. We already have them activated and now have to install mine on my car. I found to my delight that it has a traffic and weather report on it, and it reports every four minutes. Ironically, Atlanta shares the same broadcast band with Boston. Oh, good, now I don't have to listen to Kim Petersen just to get the traffic report! Most of the time "The Kimmer" is acceptable only in small doses. ----------------------------------------------------------------

Hee hee heee..... ;-)
You just wait for the trip home... you'll never have to listen to/for WGST again! By the time you get back here, you'll have forgotten about AM... FOREVER! BWAHAHAHAHAH! Siriusly, when I was doing the hour and a half each way to get to and from work and to pick up Aaron at daycare, this pretty well kept me from grinding my teeth to nubs with road rage. Remarkable how having a WIDE choice makes the time just fly... And you'll never have to listen to WGST again! J.
Hi Linda
Post a Comment
Came across your blog by trying to 'google' the new Chapel View here in Cranston. Just skimmed your site (preoccupied by Six Feet Under at the moment ;)), but see you actually are from Cranston but now live in Atlanta. Seems like you're here at the moment b/c of your mom's passing. So sorry to hear it. We just moved to Cranston two years ago... had rented in W. Warwick for a few years, before that lived in CA for a couple years, though I'm originally from Indiana. (hubby is from WWwarwick - came back to be close to his family and fulfill my long-held romantic notions of "New England" (ha!). Am book marking your site to come back and read more later. :) I know how hard it is to wrap up the belongings of someone you've lost... had to do that with my dad 10 years ago. Totally sucked. Best wishes to you in this difficult time. Looking forward to checking out your doggies' pages. Do you have a Dogster page for them? If you happen to look at my blog, you'll see a link for my babies on there. :) Have a good night. Cheers, Diana |
