When my car died in June (30 seconds from I-290) it made me think about timing in general. I had been thinking about finally donating it to WICN. I owned it for ten years; it got me safely from Kentucky to Maryland and to Worcester. Unfortunately my sentimentality got in the way. And now the engine is blown. Don't follow my example! Car, boat and motorcycle donations bring significant revenue to WICN. While your vehicle still has forward motion, please consider a donation to your favorite music station. Thanks!
