Hey Rebecca, the Essers were here Sunday and Peter, of course, has an Ipod! He uses his in the car, hooked to a charger and fed to the car stereo. Any how, he gave me his ‘old’ Bose noise cancelling headphones which work just great!Maybe I’ll get an Ipod (when he decides to get a new one!!)

What? WHAT??? What was that you said????Yes, you are right, tworivers, sometimes I listen to my iPod too loudly (my iPod. MY iPod.). The other evening I was sitting at the desk and Bill was sitting in the living room, and he could hear the song I was listening to on my iPod (MY iPOD). It was too loud. But it was a really great song, and I was actually, at the time, marvelling at stereo sound and how the sound seemed to be in the very center of my head, and I wasn't thinking about long-term hearing loss. Then I turned it down.And yesterday, in your front yard, I was listening too loudly again. It was another good song.But I must have turned it up when I parked the car, because I was driving the zippy car yesterday, and we don't have the c.d. adapter thingy in that car. So, yes, I was listening to my iPod (M. i.) while driving. But-- and this is really, really true-- I very deliberately kept the volume quite low while I was driving (low even by your standards, I mean)because no iPod or great song is worth Harm to myself or others.I may be a twit, and uncool, but I'm not THAT much of a twit.

And let ME get this straight — you listen to your iPod while you’re driving? Oh wait – you have one of those CD adapter thingies, don’t you. I was about to scold you if you had earphones in your ears while driving. And I could hear it when you were 10 feet away from me. Are you not worried about your hearing?? What’s that you say??

So let me get this straight. You like the iPod because it lets you drown out the noise of your children and strangers you don’t want to have to deal with. Nice, a device to streghten our self centered sinful nature. Very Nice.
