OK. Multiple choice it is.
Q. 1) If I am traveling in my rig on a highway at 70 mph, I should:
a) get a pencil out. You have one, right?
b)get a computer out to run turbulence simulations
c) Compare time dilation calculations between special and general relativity
d) Relax and enjoy the journey
Good one highz! I think we got the right answer.

Most definitely - in fact, it gets extra credit!

If you're traveling with a companion whom can discuss c, then c and d without the radio playing. It your travelling companion also has a pencil...who knows?

I'm not sure how I arrived at this conclusion, but I think this thread is just one or two steps from 'moderation'...

If I'm traveling with a someone whom can compare time dilation calculations between special and general relativity, and I have the radio turned on, I won't be able to understand what that person is saying. With the radio off, I have a slight chance of understanding him/her. If said person has a pencil and can draw a picture, well then, who knows how much I may be able to understand?

I guess it is a matter of how one can relax and enjoy the journey. I'm old enough that I must exercise my mind every day to stave off alzheimers disease.Thinking and remembering is very relaxing, because doing so makes me think that my mind still functions, and that is a comforting thought. Recently, it took me two days to remember ...where was I?
Now, where did I put my pen? Ooh, it's in my right hand. I bet my reading glasses are on top of my head - dooh, not there. Hmm...
