Yeah, I have been listening loud.&nbsp; Ok, I will prove why listening to
loud music while driving is safe. <br>
<br>
1.&nbsp; Pedestrians hear you coming and stay out of your way. <br>
<br>
2.&nbsp; Other cars hear you from far away (if you got open windows) and
stay away. <br>
<br>
3.&nbsp; Animals too.... <br>
<br>
4.&nbsp; And most important, it temporarily fixes minor mechanical
problems:&nbsp; if you hear that funny noise in your engine, just turn up
your music, and the noise goes away. <br>
<br>
Anyways, I have experienced summer, winter, spring and summer these few
weeks.&nbsp; When we went to Jamaica, it was summer.&nbsp; Came back, and
it was 4 inches of snow and winter.&nbsp; Now it's summer again. <br>
<br>
And the coolest thing....when in Jamaica we rented a car, and drove
around the island.&nbsp; Beautiful place, and friendly people.&nbsp;
Driving is a little different (now, Aussie and English workers don't
laugh) and I did good, stayed in all the correct lanes, and followed the
right direction (on the left) - NO PROBLEM.&nbsp;&nbsp; The car was
5-speed, and even though the shifter was on the left, and the shifting
pattern was different, thank God they left those pedals alone! <br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cost of
livin' gets so high,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rich
and poor they start to cry:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now
the weak must get strong;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They
say, &quot;Oh, what a tribulation!&quot;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Them
belly full, but we hungry;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A
hungry mob is a angry mob.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A rain
a-fall, but the dirt it tough;<br>
