    Man, I am SUCH an Otis Redding fan. Not only a great singer, but also songwriter as well.

    I thought that they made peace when the Beatles music was put on iTunes Store, but I'm just making an assumption.

    I know what you're saying, and I agree. They swing and miss at some, but when they hit one, it goes out of the park!

    The ability of Overcast and Pocket Casts to boost volumes and trim silences makes them worth it to me. Over the long run, the trim silence feature has really saved some time. I paid for Overcast before it became a subscription model, so I have most all of the features for a one-time fee. I'm not a fan of the subscription model, and I believe Pocket Casts is currently a one-time purchase, so I'd give it a go if you're looking to experiment.

    Woo hoo, another Georgian. I was beginning to think I was the only one. Of course I'm from South Georgia, so I'm not sure you guys from Atlanta know that anything South of Macon exists!

    Actually, I'm shocked that it got cancelled. I mean, what she said was seriously horrible, but that show was bringing ABC massive numbers, and I didn't think they would actually have the guts to ax it. I thought that she would apologize, they would pay some lip service to how that won't be tolerated, and by the Fall when the show came back it would all have been forgotten.

    Maybe we are making progress.

    This is the most level-headed, well thought out response to a political question I think I've seen in a long time. Well said.

    I bought a '64 Ford Falcon. It was a 4 door, gold colored, and had an inline 6. It ran smooth as butter, but, no matter how well it ran, I always got out under the tree in the back yard and tried to make it run "better." In tinkering with it, I pulled the lid off the air filter, and it was full of oil. I thought, "Oh my gosh, if this thing is blowing this much oil into the air filter, it's going to blow up any day. I need to get rid of this!" So I did.

    It was several years later before I learned what an oil bath was. (In case you don't know, it was supposed to have all that oil in there. The oil trapped dirt and cleaned the air as it passed through.)
