even bubbas are doin' it

I totally forgot to post this. Last week on my way to only TWO trips to the mall this season (pretty good, huh?) I was taking a break from my Wicked cd.

First, let me try to explain. I have XM radio, but because I got it so long ago (five years now) all I have is the little modulator. I really don't know that word either, but it replaced the tape deck in the tahoe. It's very small, about 4 inches by 2 inches. Then, I also have a music keg. No, it doesn't play beer, it holds 12 disc, that plays mp3's, so I have about a gazillion hours of music in there. It's velcro'ed (is that a word?) somewhere on the dash. Then, there is the plain old CD player in the radio.

The audio experience in my car is quite that, an experience. If I want the music keg, I put it the fm station on 89.1, turn off the xm modulator, turn on the music keg, and select which disc I want.

If I want xm, I tune the fm station to 88.1, turn off the keg, tune on the modulator and select which genre I want.

If I want radio, which never happens, I use the radio, but can leave the modulator on, so if I see a better song on the display, poof, I can change. Same with CD's.

Now, back to the story. I was taking a break from the Wicked CD (if you're playing along, that's in the player) and was listening to XM. I was in holiday traffic, and turned it down for some reason. Then I heard it, Defying Gravity. Were all of my mismatched electronics freaking out? Was my Wicked CD playing with my modulator? What in red, yellow and green plugs is going on?

It wasn't me.

It was the bright red diesel truck with the confederate flag stickers on the windows who was drinking a beverage that was coming out of a paper bag. Proud as all get out, loud enough that I could hear through his closed windows and my lower volume xm.

Did I mention it was like 10:45 in the morning? I guess he likes his starbucks frap in a paper bag ......
