Sometimes I wonder if I’m not just one big collection of quirks. I got a bunch of work done on my car today. $500 later it is starting nicely, running smoothly and braking beautifully. I can’t really complain, because I beat the hell out of that car on a regular basis, and it has held up extremely well.
Anyway, one of the new parts I got today was a battery. When they switched the old battery out, my preset radio stations all got erased. Now for some reason, I’ve always been finicky about having the stations on the radio set in order of their call numbers. That all got thrown off a couple of years ago when WHFS suddenly went from being a formerly great alternative station to a Spanish-language station. Seriously sudden – at 10 am they were playing whatever crappy corporate pseudo progressive rock they had been reduced to playing by that point, and by noon they had fired all the DJs and switched to Spanish programming. I was mighty confused when I got in the car after work that day. But it just so happened that around the same time the AM news station that I listen to from time to time got an FM frequency, so I just switched that one in on the HFS button, even though it meant the numbers didn’t not ascend properly.
Still, it always kind of bugged me that the stations weren’t programmed in to the radio in the proper order, and today I got my chance. Now my stations are all lined up as they should be. I kept hitting the former DC101 button and getting the FM news station instead, but I didn’t even mind, because order has returned to the radio button universe once more.
And really, everyone has some little quirk like that, right?
The HFS thing was the start of my station button unraveling as well. You are not alone.
