I almost forget about the surprise.
Surprise???

Driver starts fumbling with the square, white envelopes nestled over his visor. Ahhhh CD’s!

“I know you don’t have a liking for Irie FM, so I picked up a very nice CD de odda day when I go into town.”
“NICE! Whatcha get???”
“You will know soon. I know you will like it. It’s a very good CD.”

I sit patiently waiting for that first clear note.

Driver slips the cd in, the player spits the cd out. Driver slips the cd in, the player spits the cd out. Driver slips the cd in, the player spits the cd out.

I began to wonder if this was a sign.

After a dozen or so more tries the player surrenders and accepts the cd.
