  9. Re: Could I leave mando in car in winter while skiing?

    Depends. Is it a Rogue or a Gilchrist?

    I wouldn't want the Mando to sleep any colder than me. Will it get lonely and perhaps go with a passing stranger? I've heard they sometimes do that.

    Re: Rhythm of The Falling Rain

    Does anyone else have trouble with mp3 links like this? When I click one, it prompts me to download an html page, and has always done, on many devices.
