Gas – Break – Honk
Well, due to Hurricane Rita, I’ve made a run for the hills. I can’t believe how much traffic there is trying to get out of town! The drive usually takes me 4 hours but last night it took 11 hours!! And I think I’m one of the lucky ones after watching the news.
The drive was brutal. At one point I reset my odometer and after an hour I had moved less than 5 miles!! People were running out of gas left and right and most of the stations were running out too… that is if you could even find a station along Highway 59. And the two screaming cats I had in the back seat didn’t help the drive either. Anyway, I’m safe now, and I guess it’s good I left Houston, but it’ll be nice to get back once it’s all over.
Pump up the Volume!
There’s one thing that’s always bothered me about my MAME Cabinet. I sealed the speakers up inside the cabinet, and consequently, I had no way to adjust the volume. (Other than software, but software can’t make it loud enough.) Anyway, just to prove that my MAME Cabinet is never really done, I added external volume control buttons that directly control the speakers.
