Renting Hertz cars in Sweden via hertz.se. Much,
much cheaper than going via hertz.com.

Radio Stations

|

Most Listened

"The Boombox", Sirius Radio, channel 34
|
|
Most Disturbing (1)
|
Family Radio, for stressing a sectlike exact adherence to...
what? Like the Bible didn't need interpretation.
|
|
Most Disturbing (2)
|
KEGL The Eagle (Dallas) for having commercials
for: Debt relief,
auto repair, beer, herbal aphrodisiacs
and strip clubs and not much else. I don't know what
it means when you listen to a station where such
ads apparently work on the listeners - and like it.

Worst Hotel
|
Motel 6, Stockton I-5 exit Benjamin Holt Dr.
Any hotel with young latinos in matching clothes sitting
on the stairs waiting for... something... is a hotel
I don't recommend.
|
|
Best Pizza
|
Pizza Guys, Stockton I-5 exit Benjamin Holt Dr right opposite
Motel 6. Maybe the latinos above were waiting for pizza?
It sure was worth waiting for.
