I'd like to introduce an innovation that can change your life. 
Drama aside, if you don't have satellite radio, either XM Radio or Sirius, you may be missing something. Especially if you live in an rural setting, like I know many Cantinistas do. Or are dissatisifed with your small town programming.
I'm not a gadget guru or techophile with the latest, greatest everything. No plasma TV, and won't get one til 10-yr. old Zenith dies (no, not even then). No cable TV for over 9 years, and proud of it.
When a friend got XM Radio, I thought the programming was excellent- 100+ channels of something, literally, for everybody. 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's channels. Classic rock. Classical- 3 I think. About 8-10 country. Plus more news, weather, sports, talk radio of many sorts and best of all to me, comedy. Nothing makes me feel better these days than laughing. They have family comedy & blue comedy. And these shock jocks Opie & Anthony who are outrageously funny.
You buy the little radio- $100 or so- and can mount in your home surround sound system (stereo), car, boat, or they have a boom box. It's about the size of a deck of cards and it travels everywhere I go. I pop it out of the car holder, bring it in to another device, pop it in and turn it back on.
Since it gets it's signal from 2 geosynchronus satellites in space, you can drive from LA to New York and never lose the signal. Even in the middle of, say, Montana, it would come in crystal clear.
Satellite radio isn't free- $10 (XM)-$14 (Sirius) mo, but XM is at least almost all commercial free. Music channels are. Heck they even have BBC, Discovery channel, there's always something good on. New channels all the time. Supposedly truckers love it too.
So since I know we khukuri people appreciate the finer things in life, check out satellite radio of your choice. I'm not posting any links at all- just google XM Radio or Sirius.
How many of us already have one or the other? Any O&A fans? I'd like to hear.
