Especially if I am at work and can't really take the time to watch/listen to a video but can keep an article up on one screen to persuse while I do other things.

I once tried to rent a UHaul from the place in University City. Though I had a reservation, they couldn't seem to locate the key to the truck I was supposed to rent. So they sent me to North Philly somewhere. North Philadelphia, 1990, early Saturday Morning, was an interesting place.

ERIE, Pa. -- Emergency dispatchers say a northwestern Pennsylvania man reported being robbed at knifepoint by two men who took only a condom from the victim.
Erie police tell The Associated Press they have no new information to release about the incident.
The Erie Times-News reports the incident happened about 10:30 p.m. on the city's East Side.
Erie County emergency dispatchers confirmed the report, but offered no additional details.

They know how to take the reservation. They just don't know how to hold the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation.
