Two of the best things that happened to me are moving into a place with
only a small black and white tv and my car radio breaking. I don't have
cable and I don't listen to the radio. Talk about bliss! Although the
jazz stations around here are pretty good, the rest of it is trash with
stupid music, stupid djs, and stupid audiences.
