Yes, but my experience with people shouting about road conditions while I'm driving is that my drying immediately becomes _way_ worse for a second while I deal with the fact that someone is screaming at me. I've never had an experience in which someone shouting about road conditions was helpful, but I've had quite a few where it made things more dangerous. My ex in particular was really bad about it. She was paranoid about being in a wreck and as a result would flip out and start screaming about the road conditions rather frequently actually. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:199805 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
