Rules Of The Road.
My sister and I spent 15 hours in a Subaru Outback together this weekend. In the interests of diplomacy, and all around getting along, some road rules quickly emerged.
- Whoever is driving gets to pick the music.
- Janet's iPod is only allowed to play through fully once. Two words: Scissor Sisters.
- Dave has to remain alert during the Thruway/Turnpike transition at Albany. This stems from my taking the wrong exit on the way home at Christmas and adding 2 hours to our 9 hour trip back from Toronto.
- Family Guy: Live in Vegas shouldn't be played all the way through.
- Whoever is driving gets to use the cupholder.
It's good to be back, and I'll go into more trip details when I'm not so severely, severely tired. Most people pay other people to landscape. They don't drive 15 hours to volunteer.

Sounds like a good trip... I would like to suggest that the next time you have a long trip together you think about the birds on New England. See, I'll let you borrow my three disk set of "birding by ear". By the end you'll have a good grasp on the birds of New England and perhaps be able to join Dan Wells in the field. -Mitch
Thanks for the generous offer. If we listened to it 5 times, it'd last the whole trip - and we'd be 4 times more likely to be able to identify the elusive Pawtucket Whooping Biscuit Budgie.
