Yes, I know they’re two different subjects. On the first topic, my car dealer sent a guy over to pick up my car to bring it in for inspection. During this weird coronavirus semi-lockdown, they’re not charging extra for valet pick-up and delivery service. I left the key in the car, and the paperwork on the driver’s seat. They called ahead to ask whether I needed a loaner while my car was gone. Nope. If I had to run an errand in the meantime, I could have used the pick-up. So … they left an XC-90 in my driveway, anyway. Alright, but I have no need for it.
As for the radio show, I called in, and the producer who fielded my call decided to put me on the air. There was about a three minute delay, but I got on-air, answering the host’s question of the day about what I would never pay for, no matter how rich I am. A Tesla. If you’re road-tripping, you can’t just pull into any old motel to stay for the night, and plug it in for a recharge, and who wants to spend hours at a gas station sniffing fumes, even if it has a recharge station? Five minutes in and out for a combustion engine refill works for me. The host and producer both got a kick out of my answer.
The last time I called into a radio station was 20+ years ago, when I won four tickets to a Moody Blues concert (two of which I gave away). I did not win today’s “giveaway,” but it was worth calling in just to hear the host and producer chuckle over my answer for the next minute or two.
