Seperate from the FM transmitters that other people have mentioned, you can install an FM modulator into your car. This is a box that goes behind your stereo, feeds power off the stereo power supply, and connects directly to the antenna wire to supply the frequency modulated sound signal directly to the antenna without traveling through the air. Similar to an FM transmitter, it has a headphone wire that plugs into the headphone outlet of your ipod for the audio signal. It can bypass the interference problem that FM transmitters run into, but the one I installed back in the day actually picked up engine revving noise from my alternator, so maybe it needed better wire shielding. Obviously this requires taking out your stereo and doing some wiring work so you need some tinkering skills or have it installed by a pro.

The reason the USB plug on your ipod doesn't work is that earlier audio devices like the original ipod didn't have a way to transmit audio digitally over USB, it was only used for charging and file transfer.

That's what my Japanese maple is for, it's practically trying to tie itself in knots.

I think I have some spare fiberglass tent poles somewhere, that could be a good solution for slightly flexible.

We do own about 10 feet past the fence, but the fence is sitting on an 8 foot retaining wall so it would be a while before a tree down there has any effect. We are planning on putting a few trees down there.

Another angle.

 

I just transplanted this service berry tree a month ago. The top branch and new growth are starting to bend over. This area gets occasional high winds and I am concerned about the tree starting to look windswept (guess I chose the right username). I know I should remove the support pole at some point to allow the tree to build up it's strength against wind, but for now should I try to extend it up to hold the new growth straight? Will the overall growth still be straight even if the top branch is bendy?

Why not all three?

It's probably the intro music.

Nothing wrong with getting older

Probably to make sure she's not pregnant before doing the x-ray and Ct scan

I found a bunch of these tiny mushrooms along a trail in Idaho.
