Garmin Portable Friction Mount works great. No more marks on the windshield. Only draw back is the weight/size.
No all that easy to stick in a bag and take it with you. But fine for swapping from one car to another.

Well built and gets the job done, perfect size to carry along while you ride.

It works fairly well so far. Picks up all that dust and lint quite nicely. Only complaints is that when you use the extension hose, the brush keeps spinning on the ground, so it kicks up dust through the uncovered hose connector. Kind of nasty so I found myself resistant to using hose while still on carpet…and there is not check bag indicator on this tempo model. But ya know it was under 70 bucks so…

Office 2007 is a good suite of applications. The only thing that prevents me from giving it a top rating is Microsoft’s constant altering the user interface from previous versions and, in my opinion, not for the better. I resorted to 3rd party add-ons that largely allowed one to revert to previous menus.

Title says it all… and that’s what 60% of the book is about.
The vampire is handsome.
And just in case we didn’t mention it, the vampire is handsome.

Oh… let’s throw in some action at the end to kinda-sorta have a story…
Please don’t hate me, I read the book, I just didn’t like it so much.
In an ironic twist, the movie was better.

This is a good read. My daughter(23) recommended it to me and I bought a copy for my Mother-in-law. We all enjoyed it.

The others have pretty much said all there is to say: This is a very bright and easy to see rear light with a unique flash sequence that gets noticed.

Between this light and my neon yellow windbreaker saying you didn’t see me isn’t going to be believed by anyone.

Having been an Honors English student in high school, lo, those many years ago, this was on our recommended reading list. I didn’t like Holden Caulfield then. Now, the father of a daughter approaching her teenage years, I like him even less.

I reread the book recently, and the question is the same now as was it twenty five years ago: “This is classic literature?”

While relatively well written, this story has been done to death since time immemorial. And, frankly, promulgates the self absorbed teenage stereotype.

Holden Caulfield is NOT a stereotypical teenager.

Holden Caulfield IS a hypocrite. He IS a narcissist. He IS paranoid. He IS a cynic without the true experience in life to jade him. In short, he is a poseur desparately seeking some self importance to which he is far from entitled.

Although certainly alienated, and just as certainly an intelligent underachiever, he is, at root, a spoiled brat in dire need of having his backside tanned.

While there may be some merit to the idea that there are no bad children, only bad parents, young Master Caulfield bears the greatest responsibility for his situation. His willfully shallow character prevents him from seeing anyone or anything outside himself.

No, this is not “classic literature”. It is not even an accurate portrayal of teenage angst and alienation. It is the story of a puling spoiled rich kid who doesn’t get life his way.

Well, welcome to the world, Young Man, because that’s just the way things are.
