My car’s dash is very curvy and the surface is not smooth so I decided the friction mount was probably the way to go. Once I was finally able to successfully attach the unit to the mount (you basically have to grit your teeth and force the cradle on to the ball of the mount); I could tell how convenient and user friendly this would be, as the unit swivels on the ball and adjusts up and down and side to side. I ended up placing it in a small space between the left to the driver’s seat area of the windshield and arched part of the dash over the speedometer, etc. instrumentation. It’s perfect there as I can easily glance at it (if necessary) without removing my eyes from the road for more than a split second. I’m very happy so far with this product!

This book goes AGAINST Christian teachings. The author is an atheist wanker. Do NOT buy this book and support this attempt to poison our Christian youth. There should be an option to give a ZERO rating!

The FURminator is so easy to use and does the best job. I’ve tried several different brushes and combs for our dogs and cats and nothing works as well as the FURminator. The FURminator doesn’t hurt your animal either like other brushes and combs do. I’ve found since using the FURminator our house is staying cleaner longer now with less hair on the floor and in the air. I highly recommend this product for both dogs and cats!

My husband and I both bought Kindles and we love them! We have downloaded our Daily Word Bible and I have already read 3 books with the Kindle. My husband had to take a long airline flight recently and was able to read all the way! It’s such an easier way to read without having to carry a heavy book! I will recommend the Kindle to all my friends

A few days ago, I was reading the blog of Roger Simon, on the occasion of J.D. Salinger’s passing. Simon was going to school at Dartmouth, near where Salinger lived in New Hampshire, and he really wanted to meet the writer. He managed to get as far as the great man’s front door, before being turned away by a girlfriend. In response to the short blog entry, I noted that I’ve read many books, but never The Catcher in the Rye, for whatever reason. Every time someone tries to explain the book and why it resonated with them, I just get annoyed. It makes me want to read the book less.

So I commented on Roger’s blog article, and joked that I’d probably prefer a Pastrami in the Rye to The Catcher in the Rye. I have a thing for Langer’s. Anyway, Roger then wondered if anyone had read Catcher recently, or wanted to now having not read it in the past. A few days later I when I was out and about, I idly went to a used bookstore, discovered they were out, went to a second one ditto, and wound up buying one of the few copies left at the local Borders. It’s been a couple of days, and now I’ve read the thing. It wasn’t at all what I expected, and I didn’t relate to Holden at all…but I still think it’s a brilliant book, just not for the reasons that everyone else (or those I’ve read, anyway) seem to think it’s great.

For those of you familiar with music, Randy Newman is probably best known for the song “Short People.” It’s about prejudice and how stupid prejudiced people are. Newman famously has gotten sick of various lunkheads yelling “Hey Randy, short people suck!” at him randomly on the street. He deliberately chose a characteristic that would be beyond prejudice, even semi-intelligent prejudice, and found that people were much more stupid than he thought, and that the song, as a result, resonated with a lot of people it wasn’t supposed to.

With The Catcher in the Rye, I get the same impression. I don’t think this was supposed to resonate with anyone. If I understand it corr
