I have been using the car audio as my fourth environment in my last few songs - roughly in the same order as you Ron, but with 2) and 3) reversed. When I now go into the garage to sit quietly in my car and listen to a new song - sometimes up to 30 minutes - I now tell my wife. On the first occasion of checking in the car, my wife became concerned and poked her head through the door to the garage and enquired “Are you okay in there?” I wonder if she thought I was having an episode? crazy
