Fuck you too Paul.  I hope that when you die in your fiery auto-wreck it's only because you crashed into a pole and not into a Pole or a Czech or something.

The question is, will he get a photograph of it with his last dying breath?

Of course he'll get a picture.

I'm just saying I think hurtling around in multi-thousand pound blocks of iron is perhaps serious enough to require the operator to get the most out of their faculties and senses. It's nice to be able to pick up the subleties of the bicyclist's dying gurgles, whimpers, and cries as you drive over them.

Since just about everything is illegal in Utah, I wouldn't be surprised if you got pulled over.  Of course, since you won't be able to hear the siren, you'll probably end up serving some jail time for fleeing from the police.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was no law to regulate that, because the state legislature has a strong libertarian faction.  This year a bill that would make not wearing a seatbelt an offense for which a cop can pull someone over was defeated.  Again.  They just, this year, passed a hate crime bill, after significantly weakening it.  And the bill that bans smoking in bars and clubs was narrowly defeated last year.  I don't know what happened with it this year.

But then we have all these fucked up liquor laws (which the Governor has flirted with changing).

Because I couldn't hear the pole?

It's probably got about as much firepower.

Everything I've heard about the FM transmitters is that they ain't so good.  Jough's statement that they're better or worse depending on how many FM stations are around you is probably accurate.

My wife and I switched cars, putting me in a car with a tape deck and no CD player.  So I started recording CDs to cassette.  Then the home stereo with the CD player + tape deck died--can't play fuck*ng CDs (the second time this stereo has broken in the same fashion).

So I got one of the cassette adapters that Tangle referred to, and started using my MP3 player as my car stereo.  Sure enough, within a month, the cassette player in the car craps out, so I can't listen to MP3s or even the few tapes I made before the home stereo died.

This led to my new car stereo purchase, but that's having its own problems, and I'm quite sure it will catch on fire or something the day it goes out of warranty.  Apparently I'm just not supposed to listen to music in this car.

Hire you a mariachi band to sit in the back seat all day, Carlos.
