Snow

We had our first storm of the winter, and I was lucky enough to have had an appointment during the very heart of it that I couldn't reschedule.  A trip that should have taken 35 minutes each way was slowed to four hours, split almost perfectly at two hours each way.  I listened to a lot of news radio (NPR and Air America).  As a kid I distinctly remember thinking, who the fuck gets a radio then just listens to people talk?  The radio, I believed, was at its very essence, a musical instrument.
