DAY 182 - Static at the Drive-In

Its a little tradition in our family to go to the drive in when everyone's in town.  During the summer when I was in Jr. High we were at the drive in at least once a week or more... That's how I was able to see Pretty Women 17 times, the majority of those viewing were at the drive in.  Tonight we saw Up and The Proposal.  When we first got there we tried to get the sound to come through on the assigned station, but it was just a mixture of the movie and X96 and static.  We were able to find the audio for every other movie around us, I think we even intercepted Hitlers olympic opening ceremony address from 1939, but we couldn't get out own movie to come through.  We saw some other people struggling to find it too, they ended up moving and then seemed to be fine.  So we moved the car over a few feet and the signal started coming in.  We parked the car opened up the back and started getting set up, then the static returned.  Blame it on sunspots, or swine flu, but it wasn't working for us.  We tried moving again, all we had to do was move the car a few inches and it came through loud and clear.  Finally we were able to watch the movie static free!  Too bad we missed the first 15 minutes of Up, I have no clue how why he got Up, but as long as it doesn't last more than 4 hours he should be fine.
