For recreation I dock my iPod, and download books on tape, and play then
via the truck's sound system.


What I liked when I was out was the old radio shows.

I've been listening to those lately on XM. Especially the old comedy
shows like Jack Benny, Burns and Allen and even Red Skelton. Skelton's
hilarious. If he forgets lines he just ad libs. I think he was the
Robin Williams of my parents generation.

I also like the old westerns line the Lone Ranger and even Hopalong
Cassidy. It's interesting listening to the Gunsmoke radio shows. I
grew up watching James Arness play Matt Dillon on the TV series but on
the radio shows it was Robert Conrad playing that role.
