You sure it wasn't you walking out of the store, locking eyes with your car again after that long seperation period, you drop all of your supplies and run to your car like a teenager runs to his first love in high school and start taking pictures ?

I drove to the office, then to USPS, then to UPS, then home.

Saw a house on fire on my way to work, so that was one way to start my day.

Just a little update; I switched over from Spotify to Apple Music because I had issues with the Combox not displaying my Spotify library, Apple Music worked fine, can't comment on Android OS. I use the USB instead of Bluetooth audio
