Satellite radio needs a massive audio improvement before it replaces FM, at least in vehicles anyway. It sounds great on my TV through Dish Network and it's pretty good through my phone but it sure sounds crappy in my truck. I hope there's an noticeable improvement with Sync 4.

I am an airplane geek and my wife enjoys planes too so we went to Udvay-Hazy Center, and there is a shuttle that took us to the Smithsonian, and we got to walk around, saw the White House, went to Russia, saw the Capital, chatted with some squirrels. We stayed in Virginia for a few days to see the sites. On the way there went to Dayton Ohio and the Air force Museum. On the way back stopped at the Kentucky Horse Park. Udvar-Hazy is amazing. This was back when they were investigating the Columbia disaster and they had the Enterprise closed off as they were studying it. My wife didn't care where we went as long as we went somewhere. It was fun and we want to do it again, just not until the country settles down and stabilizes again.

Perfect explanation, TY! (I knew there had to be one...)

Tonight I will sleep...

Honeymoon is for making history...not seeing history!

I can assure you the squirrels were the most intelligent things you encountered in DC

It also needs to not have a paywall and not lose connection around tall buildings, overpasses and trees...in other words, it (as the technology exists currently) will never replace AM/FM.

An opinion from Kentucky, I see.

Here is another opinion, from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Mark Milley. His testimony yesterday before the US Senate.
