I agree that quixotic should be pronounced the Spanish way, but I can't find any evidence the standard pronunciation is uniquely American. I never hear people say "nitch" in the states, most are capable of saying "neesh". And foy-er/foy-yay is kinda interchangeable, I hear both, doesn't really bother me though.

    I'm good enough at guitar to do it professionally. Not my only job but part of my income is playing as a hired gun for local acts and artists touring the region. I play mostly country, a lot of chicken-pickin, bending style telecaster stuff. Been at it over 25 years.

    Any word when the connection is supposed to happen with the 1 Line? And do we know if they decided the lines will connect at the ID station? Last I heard that decision was kinda stalled.

    Tuning in local radio stations while I'm driving through new places can be really cool. Also if you're a sports fan there might be a ballgame on - good way to entertain yourself for like 3 hours.

    Amen to rest stops. Every 2 hours is a good rule of thumb, just to reset your focus if nothing else.

    If you are musical or like music maybe find a local weekly jam or open mic. Play some tunes or just go and enjoy. Typically a very welcoming and open community and supportive scene, at least everywhere I've been.
