Comment What happens when you get off the main road.... (Score 1) 368

If you live in some of the more sparsely populated parts of Canada/US you know how quickly cellphones signals disappear when you 'get off the main road'. If you don't live near a major city or town, you may be relying on dial-up internet. That makes programming your music gadget problematic. That's what makes services like this great: You can be anywhere and still get great radio. If I was on the road all the time, or lived out in the country, I would definitely subscribe to this.

I agree with you completely. There are not that many old or antique/vintage vehicles on the road.I know what its like to be completely flat broke and keeping my so-called 'clunker' running was the difference between earning a living and being bankrupt and homeless. Now, I spend my spare time restoring an old car and I worry that some enviro-nazis will get elected and insist on trashing so called 'old' vehicles.

Comment Get rid of this Nonsense! (Score 1) 755

Get rid of this nonsense! Last year there was a horrific school bus crash that killed a little girl and severely injured some other passengers. The driver clipped a gravel truck that was parked on the shoulder of the road. I have always believed that had the school bus driver been driving the the daylight, this never would have happened. I hate it now that I'm stumbling around in the dark while waiting for the bus and then going to work. The only 'savings time' that would make sense up here in Canada is between June 20 and September 20. It certainly makes no sense the further south you go. The differences between your longest day and shortest day don't warrant messing with the clocks.
