LOL, I've done that too. Sat in the garage listening, I mean. It's really too funny when I know darn well, I can hear the rest of it (or the next bit) when I next take out the car. Or for that matter, bring the tape (CD) into the house and play it there. But somehow I just don't need to do that in the house. When I'm inside, I can read instead.
In any event, it will be back to the library for me before the next big road trip. The one thing I wonder about though, is with the tape, when I missed part of the story because I was concentrating on traffic or passing another vehicle or something, I could rewind. How do you do that with a CD?
