There were no motels so you spent the night at a rest stop. It was a night of fitful dreams and you swear someone called your name, out there in the forest.
And you wonder how it is that three days later, you’re still able to pick up this station.

Know why I love fall in the desert?
Because I'm out on my front patio, working on a podcast project on my laptop, listening to chill tunes on @TheHypnagogue. Got my hoodie on, it's cool and gorgeous, and the entire mood is restful.
I can't wait to see the analytics for how much more traffic the Brazzers network got while YouTube was down.

Library technology, librarians in space, oh... and there's that AM radio station broadcasting out of 194nfuh513..IF#Rf...0r23f##!#f [NO CARRIER]
Holy shit... YouTube is down. Like, for real.
Well, folks. I guess the purge has begun.

Me, when I put a quarter in something, I wanna shoot aliens or something. I guess that’s why I think casinos are boring.

A restless night in an inexpensive motel, a quick breakfast, and you’re putting the miles behind you. The day passes without incident, but what will evening bring? Another long drive past corn fields and farms. And as the sky darkens, the traffic thins. The radio stations become fewer, and often overwhelmed by static.
But there’s one station that’s coming in clearly….
WRTH - AM 800

This poor guy at the Starbucks can't get Siri to work on his iPhone.
It might be because he's calling her Suri.
Thankfully,I think his girlfriend has noticed this issue.

I just totally wrote a script to write SQL for me. Not because I know what I'm doing with SQL, but because I didn't know how to write this query without replacing a bunch of parameters over and over again.

Just The Rolling Stones alone. It's like, guys, how can I love you if you don't go away?
I see a red door and I want you to stop doing albums, please.

And that's why I'm cleaning coffee off my keyboard.
It’s getting dark outside. Better hit the road and get some miles behind you. Can’t find anything on the FM, maybe there’s something on AM?

Oh wait, a privacy and ad blocking extension was to blame. It was doing its job.
Adjusted. Reloaded. Dialed back on my coffee intake thereafter.

It's October.
The light is fading as you finish your coffee and buckle in to the driver's seat.
It's dark, you're alone, with only a single AM radio station to break the silence.
