10 US Census data points that should be collected so I know where to live

1. Showgirls who wash their cars a lot.

6. People who will let me borrow their trucks when I have something big to move. (Includes only those who have a valid reason to own a truck and excludes trucks with testicles.)
7. British people. (Can be extended to other nationalities as long as the people have cute accents and say colorful things like "gobsmacked," "Bob's your uncle," "knackered."
8. Old people - old enough to be great neighbors but young enough that I might decide to move away before they die.
9. Cartoonists. #3 from the previous list would exclude the drunk guy who does "Mallard Fillmore," although I'm not sure he's a cartoonist. More of an angry mope with a Kolinsky brush and a syndicator.
10. IQ scores.

6 reasons the dealer installed XM radio in my Prius seems to loose the signal.

1. Turning the car on.
2. Changing directions.
3. Stopping. Or going.
4. Driving on a sunny day.
5. Driving in the rain.
6. Singing along to a song - this seems to taunt the satellite causing it to turn it's back on you.

I finally discovered the actual reason I lose a signal. It works as long as I don't drive east. Finally convinced the dealer to mount the antenna on the roof and it works great now.
