He told the salesman, "well thank goodness, because if I ever take a trip to, oh, I don't know, THE SUN, God forbid I should have to listen to the same song twice!"John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-89674865937649602002012-03-04T11:04:02.571-08:002012-03-04T11:04:02.571-08:00There's an article in the latest issue of Moth...There's an article in the latest issue of Mother Jones about the impact of Alabama's immigration laws on farms and one of the farmers interviewed talked about how hard it is to find people to work legally because they can't work at the pace necessary and most quit after a day or two because of how hard and demanding the work is.<br /><br />In reference to your comment about MP3 players, the only reason I can think of to have an MP3 player that holds more than one or two hundred songs is to have one central place you keep all your audio files as a backup. For everyday use, an iPod shuffle or a basic iPod with enough space for a movie, if video is your thing, is enough. I have a Shuffle that holds 500 songs and it's not even half full. When the selection starts to get stale, I plug it into my computer and change up the playlist.RogueFiccerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771057308264812757noreply@blogger.com
