That would really piss me off.  (Depending on how far I got before I remembered.) Probably anything over like over four blocks or so

I bet he went number one and number two at the same time, too, as well.

As if we could ever tackle global warming...unless of course there is a nuclear solution.

The person closest to the audio system controls the Spotify. It used to be a 20-year-old from Denver who had decent taste and had a pretty broad playlist set up. The guy there now is from here and ergo I hear Wagon Wheel approximately 25 times per week.

This may qualify as an OSHA violation.  You should file a complaint and seek redress.

Yesterday someone backed a truck into a utility pole and took out fiber to most of the town, ergo Spotify was unavailable to our salesman. After an hour of silence it dawned on me to check and sure enough, I could hit the bluetooth system from my phone, so I put RadioParadise on for the rest of the day. It went over well except there was a Fever Ray song that raised eyebrows. But alas, the internet is back on and I just heard Wagon Wheel.

I still have an old Tascam Portastudio like that - it still works but I don't have a regular cassette deck to copy the songs to anymore and I haven't invested in any digital transfer gadgetry.

At least you can do that. I diligently put a lot of my past digital life onto Zips and now I can't find anyone to read them. I would ask you, but I can't decipher my disk-naming scheme so I don't know if the disks I have are the ones I care about. And by "care about," I mean "mildly curious about." So whatever's there, except for nostalgia, I would be better off re-building or forgetting about. Hell, half of it's probably in (Aldus) Freehand™
