This is NPR

Ten hours in a patrol car each work day means easy boredom when it comes to programs on the radio.  Most radio stations play the same songs over and over again.  Bored with this, I decided to give NPR a try.  Brent and I have listened to it on different occasions, usually on a Saturday morning when Car Talk and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me is on.

The first night I switched the car radio to NPR, I was pleasantly surprised.  It was a show called World Cafe and it was featuring the bluesman Charles Musselwhite.  His interview was scattered with some of his music.  As soon as the harmonica sounds came ripping out of the speakers, I was instantly transported back to Pappy's Smokehouse in St. Louis!

I texted Brent to have him turn on NPR.  We just don't hear music like that on radio stations in Fort Fun.  I started tuning into World Cafe each night.  And now the station is my primary station.  Some of the news talk and news updates are not all that interesting, but the variety of shows, stories, and music makes up for the repetitiveness of the news updates.

And with that little ramble, I'm off to Safeway to pick up some almost free Triscuits and Mission tortillas!
