Being my first post in reference to ConCarolinas… let’s call this the prologue, shall we?
I am at S&S Tire in Lexington, KY (heartily recommended, by the way. They have WiFi!) waiting to have the front driver side tire replaced on my Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I have some opinions about them, too.

HELLLLLLLP!!!
My iPod is out of commission.  NOOOOOOO!
 Actually, the hold switch, which I never use, is stuck on hold!  The switch moves, but it’s like it’s loose underneath and it’s locked even to me.  I’ve tried restoring it with iTunes and it still doesn’t work!
I did not purchase it, it was a contest prize from my [...]
