Ten or fifteen seconds to refuel and change the tyres. If they really tried hard, they could be finished in a matter of seconds. Less than three weeks now until we set out on holiday to visit relatives a.k.a. the Toxic Custard Tour Of America. Well, actually it's two weeks boiling in Phoenix, and two weeks getting wet in Seattle. With a bunch of hours hanging around LAX changing planes.
Problem is, they keep playing the same damn songs.
I'd swear they had a bunch of tapes, each with a different half-hour of songs, and they play each tape once every few days. Still, just finding the station is a major task on our older, slightly defective stereo - the FM dial is out of whack, so you have to turn a little to the right of the advertised frequency. You can tell the stereo is old because it's silver, not black. And most of the case is made of wood. That's how old we're talking.
