53% of who?

It has been 10 months since I have "ruminated" anything on my blog site. And I have been asked repeatedly why I stopped blogging. I have no answer except that blogging takes time, at least for me, and since I started working 6 days a week, I spend most of my free time eating, sleeping and watching Law and Order. So speaking of work, here goes my newest blog and newest rant.

I am a progressive Radio Talk Show aficionado and listen to Air America, or Nova whenever I'm going to and from work. Invariably I get very involved with the topic on hand and hate having to park my car in the parking structure at work. I am just at the point when the guest speaker is exchanging some very important statistics with the talk show host, or a person calls in with unusual information when I have to enter the parking structure. It's like "Well, you know Tom, 53% of all --and I lose the signal. WHAT? I'm missing the most important stat due to complete static for 4 floors until I reach the 5th floor which is outdoors (employee parking.) It happens to me everyday 6 days a week. It's as if the most important bit of information is being given out as I enter the parking garage. Sometimes, although rarely, when no one is behind me, I just let my car idle at the point of entry to hear the rest of the comment. It's no different when I get off the freeway sometimes and I have to go under the freeway bridge to get to the main street. I mean, men and women fly to the moon, astronauts are floating in space making finite adjustments to the Hubble Telescope, we can fly to the east coast in 4 1/2 hours; but no one has found a way to get better reception when we're in parking structures! I drive an Acura and can't hear squat inside. If any readers drive a Lexus or Infiniti or BMW, please let me know if you have better luck. Until then, yours in static.
