Yesterday we bought a Bose portable speaker system for my iPod Touch. The Bose store also gave us a free carrying bag. The sound is great and it's so neat now to have all our music on our iPod (backed up of course!) and hear it on such a small system! It was not cheap but it's definitely worth the price.
Today we went with friends to visit the annual ADIHEX show. There was still the heritage area but it seemed to be overshadowed by the massive gun exhibits. It wasn't like that last year. It was weird to be holding a Kalashnikov rifle. Can you buy those at gun shows in the U.S.? I don't see the connection that gun has with hunting - unless it's people and not animals! One neat area was the pimped out dune buggies.
