Well, it's OK, but the new CD player was an order of magnitude
better, with all the stock speakers. I've always been an aftermarket
stereo fan.

BTW, my shop installed it with all the same detectors as stock.
So, the bell beeps with the door open and radio on, and disconnecting
it will set off the alarm, etc.

I almost never listen to the radio; I much prefer CD's. I know what's
playing without looking.

I actually have two. The older one is Basia, a 6 year old female.
She's the one who "started" my signatures. The new one is Adam,
a 1 year old male who annoys Basia no end. Now, there's a new
upstart in the house: Tucker, a 14 week old Golden Retriever.
The cats are uniting in the face of a common enemy.....

I never got around to making my signature plural.
