Okay, this is KC2, PKG Returning, with an exciting story. Yesterday coming home from Portland, we stopped for lunch and had a nice lunch, a couple of tacos and stuff like that. It was very good. And we went to a Polish deli, the only Polish deli in Maine. They claim they're the best Polish deli in Maine. They're the only one. But on the way home, after about two hours of driving, I started to droop. And I'm 30 miles away from a place to stop and I'm trying to keep my eyes open and stuff like that. Well, they must have closed at some point because I suddenly snapped awake. And that car has this thing they call the super duper cruise control. And it stays in the middle of the lane by itself. And it stays, mine is set for six car lengths behind the car in front of me. And it will actually slow down. If the car in front of me slows down, it slows down. It checks and sees what the speed limit is. It can read the signs and stuff like that. So when I snapped awake again, and it could have been a second, it could have been 10 seconds, it could have been a minute, I don't think it was more than that. There is a tamper in front of me that I'd never seen before. So this guy must have passed me, gone by while I was asleep. And there he is. But here I am, safe as houses. So I'm definitely turning that on from now on. When we first got it, it scared the head out of me because it was all turned on in the car as we drove away from the dealer. And if you're steering and you go near a line, it shakes the car. And I turned everything off, yelled at my wife, and got home and tried to make sense out of the manuals for about three days. And I didn't use it for another two months. But now, that thing saved my life. And my wife was asleep next to me. So thank you, Mercedes. I'm here today, not lost in the main woods somewhere because of that system. Anyway, back to you, KB9NSK. How about that? Is that a sport? I don't know. My God, we were only talking about self-driving cars yesterday. We never even mentioned adaptive cruise control.
