Audience Participation
I and the dog will be driving to Homer on Wednesday to attend my uncle's memorial service. B will not be going with us because he is headed out to the boonies with some buddies and some alcohol for Arctic Man.
I expect to see him on the next Guys Gone Wild: Arctic Man Edition flashing his tasseled ta-tas while jumping snow machines over RVs. Or getting arrested by a coworker's trooper husband. A good time should be had by all.
Only, my iPod? It be dead and completely uncooperative in its deadness. And I have a ten hour drive ahead of me. And then I have to drive back north.
Dear Internet of my heart, my faithful audience of, ah, three, your opinion means a lot to me. Should I 1// rummage through my hundreds of CDs, selecting a handful that I will want to listen to on the trip, 2// bring all of my hundreds of CDs with me in the car, or 3// choke out the $400 for a new iPod?
(Hey, uh, Heidi? I do mean to call you, but, uh, this is so much more efficient. Can I and Lacey crash at your place Wednesday night? And then on the way back north too?)
I need to decide this very quickly, as I will be leaving town Wednesday, and new iPods and pawing through hundreds of CDs takes time. Time that I am quickly losing.

5 Love Notes
I vote you buy the new iPod
Buy an 8-track player.
Put an MP3 stereo in your car and burn your favs to a CD-R. One disk is about 10 hours worth and a decent bit rate.
Sure you can stay...and I say bring hundreds of CDs with you. A girl can never pack to much.
I second Steve on the 8-track player. You live in Alaska, dammit. All these namby-pamby gadgets are for soft latte-snortin' southern types.
Or, you know, just make yourself a mix-tape from the CDs.
