doing intervals to

And I have always enjoyed Car Talk.
In other news, I spent my morning responding to a several letters I've received from a prisoner in Florida. It's been awhile since I've had to respond to prisoner mail.
Effete NPR listeners...
i Also dont like Terri Gross. Something about her interview style seems very dry an inflexible. I stopped listening after half a year or so.
