NMM

Playing music at the highest possible volume of your wife’s minivan is a real crowd pleaser.  The pax said people live nearby but I heard/saw no-one.

If you play the music loud enough, it drowns out a lot of mumble chatter.

Boomerang enjoyed the exhaust fumes from the van as much or more than the music, camaraderie and workout.

COT

YHC took us out.
