“Headphones with music or earplugs?” Carlos the tech asked.
“Headphones today, I think,” I said before adding, “but nothing too loud because I will definitely doze. Lite FM?”

It’s well-established that I loathe Train.
I was spared from Pitbull audio abuse only by virtue of the soft rock format. THANK GOODNESS.

Thank you
Que en el mundo???
I hate Train so so much
Hahaha! I meant with the free-loader in your arm!
