randomnessIn Florida, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bedfull_o_books and I had a rental car with Sirius Radio in it. I'd driven one before which had a satellite-capable radio but no subscription, so this was the first time I'd actually gotten to listen to the service.
It was nice to have so many stations to listen to, but we ended up listening to the CBC a lot. Vaguely surreal when driving around Florida, but I imagine some Canadians must do it, too.
Reception isn't so great, though. You'd expect it to go out when you go under a concrete overpass, but under some tree branches? There were times when all we were doing was driving along a tree-lined road, and the radio would cut out. Disappointing.
I'm not sure I'm ready to pay for satellite radio, if that's normal.
