...No, I wasn't eating a radio, but I had the radio on as I got close to home this morning. The DJ said the next song she was about to play was beautiful. What I heard of it sounded listenable but more cold and robotic than beautiful. As I switched stations, I thought, "This doesn't make much sense. I'll only be in the car for another 15 seconds. I can tolerate 15 more seconds of a cold, robotic instrumental."
I still changed stations, however, and listened to 15 seconds of jazz instead. Petty as that might have been, there's something to be said for how you end a situation. What I heard most recently on the radio often stays with me for a little while, so whenever possible, I want to get out of the car with a positive mindset.
