In the creative mathematics, the role of proof is in no way restricted to its function of carrier of conviction. Otherwise, there would be no need for Carl Friedrich Gauss to consider eight (!) different proofs of the law of quadratic reciprocity. One metaphor of proof is a route, which might be a desert track boring and unimpressive until one finally reaches the oasis of ones destination, or a foot path in green hills, exciting and energizing, opening great vistas of unexplored lands and seductive offshoots, leading far away even after the initial destination point has been reached.

This is what I thought about 98.7 until I started listening to it daily a few weeks ago.  The other day I heard the same song twice, once coming home and once coming to school. I live TEN MINUTES away.  Although the lack of nuance is quite dissatisfying at times, it's still miles better than most of the other stations.

Well I’m weird because i almost never listen to the radio, first of all, and second of all, I listen to 98.7 which is like 60s, 70s, 80s music and I’ve never heard the same song played twice.  so.  Yeah.
