Last night I was on the road to take care of some shopping.  The last few months, the Subie sits idle for weeks on end, and due to a stupid anti-theft device my insurer demands I install (or pay a massive surcharge), the batteries go down to 10v or so in 2 weeks.  The car is parked in the underground garage of my building, and sadly, there is no way to setup a trickle charger.

So the first priority after “boosting” the car is to run it for a while to recharge the battery. For me, that means roughly 45 min of highway …

Driving has always been a pleasure of mine, especially in the rainy nighttime, and the accompaniment of music via CD or radio is a must.  While poking around the dials last night, I hit a station with an intriguing tag jingle : “Coming up, Night’s with Alice Cooper“.

To my incredulity, it is Alice Cooper, sardonic, sarcastic, slightly caustic too.  But funny and a good throwback to Rock&Roll DJing.

Shopping done, I was on the road again around 21:00, and just as I was hitting the highway, Alice introduces “Boston with Foreplay/Long Time”.  And the volume dial goes up, foot pedal goes down, and the “foul weather fiend” Subie begins to eat up miles at a great pace.  Darn it, Alice is going to risk my license
