Yes, Katiesue, love Amelia Peabody!

Pru, never heard of the Mary Russell series, what's she all about?

If I describe it, it will sound stupid. And it's not - it's really some of the most engaging mass market stuff I've read, mystery or otherwise. It's similar to the Amelia Peabody mysteries in that it has a strong-willed, intelligent female at the center, matched with a strong-willed, intelligent mate. (Apparently I slurp that stuff up like gravy.) It's a little more serious in tone, but honestly that's the only series where I practically salivate when a new book is released - and organize my homework so that I can sit down and read it straight through. Well, maybe that and Harry Potter. But this one is better. The first in the series is The Beekeeper's apprentice.

Okay, I will check these out! I'm a sucker for them too. Although I do love a good deal of humor in mine. I used to love the Charlotte MacLeod Sarah Kelling/Max Bitterson mysteries when I was into mysteries, those were pretty funny as well.

Yay two new series to check out. These are my favorite kinds of books as well.

Well, it looks like the iTrip will go back to Best Buy and I will be hitting Circuit City. A new car CD player and iPod ready deck will const me about $150 + installatiuton and the adaptor plug for the iPod, so all told about $200. Better sound and I get a CD player to boot......I'm so bad, but it will be me I have to entertain and keep awake on the road so Tango gets to her new home safe & sound. That's the most important part, making sure she's happy and secure

(I will use any excuse....)

Damn, and here I was thinking I was hip cuz I can change radio stations using the buttons on the stearing wheel.

I had no idea there was an option for adding your Ipod to your car stereo let alone tons of options. This one looked interesting for the do-it-yourself type person.

I might even have to pickup one of these fancy ipod things one of these days. I bet my AbbA collection would rock on it!

Oh crud... I didnt even think of that Snowflake.
you'll be driving across country and have to find a new FM station every few hours...
oh what a pain.

Yeah, I vote for taking it back too.

ShinyCar comes with MP3 and Satellite buttons. I talked to Mazda yesterday and they'll hardwire your iPod to the MP3 button for $425. Ouch. I bet they use that hook-up, since what they do will allow you to control the iPod with the steering wheel controls.

They also offer the wired FM modulation for less, but I have enough trouble with my iTrip that I don't want to bother with FM modulation.

Now, I wonder if I could install that connector myself...
