Dear Tom and Ray;

My wife and I just had our first child, a boy. And, yes, you guessed right, the names Tom and Ray were at the very bottom of our list, right below Pius XII Pius XII, 1876–1958, pope (1939–58), an Italian named Eugenio Pacelli, b. Rome; successor of Pius XI. Ordained a priest in 1899, he entered the Vatican's secretariat of state.  and Heidi!

 wagon and are selling (sniff!) our beloved Mazda Miata. The Honda is great so far, with one exception. The cigarette lighter is on the fritz. It's certainly not that either of us smokes (certainly not with the baby around), it's just that we need the lighter socket to power the on-board On board usually means to be traveling on some vehicle. For example, Baby On Board. Compare with overboard.

Metaphorically, the term on-board is often used to refer to some piece of technology that is integrated in a moving vehicle, for example:

, and the cigarette lighter.

TOM: Now, if the dome light works, that means the fuse is fine and there's something else wrong with the lighter. The most likely problem--in my experience--is that someone unplugged the wire to the lighter while installing a radio and forgot to plug it back in.

RAY: So start by checking the dome light. If it's dead, too, a fuse will fix the problem. If it works, however, you may have to go in for some exploratory work--or switch to breastfeeding.
