What is even happening?

which is still sort of weird that they'd bother to heat them, but not cool them.

Cooled seats sounds hard to do, to me.

Agreed. The piece reads like they do both cool and warm the front seats, though. Cooled seats sound to me also like they might make me achy. I don't know why.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Due to the BF reviewing cars and us having a different car every week, I have been in a couple of models with cooled seats. It's not really that cool temp-wise. It actually feels like a very light breeze--like sitting in a mesh lawn chair. Not a bad feeling, and nice if you tend to stick to the seats on a hot day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure the Cadillac rental we had this weekend had heated or cooled front seats, but only heated rear seats.

A Manhattan acquaintence is looking for recommendations for really good tasting fair trade coffee.

Art Crawl!!!

I've never been in a car with cooled seats - but on a really cold day the heated seats and backs are nice. And if your back is sore.

I can imagine on a hot day accidentially turning on the seat heater would be BAD.

The first time I got in a car with heated seats, I didn't know it, and it completely freaked me out. Totally disconcerting.

I got nothing on the coffee, Typo -- I drink Bustelo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want a cooled seat option. Really cool. And I should be able to activate either the right half or the left half.

And I'll probably be using one cupholder to keep my chai latte hot, and the other to keep my ice pack cool. Because not every owie can be served by the seat.

I have achieved iPod. The guy at the Costco checkout was all techy-manly-gruff, asking me if I've used an iPod before. I narrowed my eyes at him and told him this was #4. He then launched into an explanation of how if none of my previous iPods were video iPods, I'd need to load the software in the package before using it.

"Even if I've already got iTunes 6.0.5 and have used it to watch videos on my computer?" I asked.

He got kinda blustery and left me alone.

#4 is a misnomer. Little sis gets the 40GB 3G one. I'm actually more excited about setting up her new laptop that I have here for her with iTunes and random stuff she'll like.
