What do you guys see?
Unit! That was me!

Well me in my fantasy anyway. Man, how I wanted to be that guy.

There was a time in my youth that they ran adds showing guys shaving with an electric in their cars, as they speed away to work - I wanted to be that guy. Alas, I never found an electric that didn't pull the heck out of me, and leave me with an obvious redness that just wasn't suitable for public display. But take my word for it, it wasn't for a lack of trying. I think I bought an electric, or was given one every x-mas for years.

Had they worked - I doubt I would be sitting here typing this.

It wasn't until I moved to KS that I began to "smell the roses" again, as it were. Back in my "city days" to be able to multi-task in the car that I practically lived in, would have been the height of cool!
