Let me start by mentioning that I’m not a big fan of sticking things to my car window any where near my sight lines. Moreover, suction cups always eventually let go and the wires etc. end up being a pain for me. So this friction mount was an ideal solution. It is quite stable. It doesn’t move at all going around curves or on shorter than normal stops. It rotates and allows for angle changes, which is excellent when requesting passenger assistance with data entry or when optimizing for glare reduction and other difficult conditions. The GARMIN unit is easy in, easy out. No problems at all. I strongly recommend this item.

I was left puzzled after reading the book, which isn’t surprising. It’s quite a confused book.

Having digested it a little though, I do believe it’s excellent. The things I loved are exactly the ones which annoy some other reviewers:
- No visible plot. The main character sort of lives his days, doing stupid things and fretting about them. I found that very charming.
- The silly teenage language from the late 40′es / early 50′es. It annoyed me at first, but then I enjoyed it.
- The whiny narrative. Yep, it was a bit over the top whiny; but I thought it was compensated by the inspired passages that were observant and kind. In fact, the narrative left me feeling the guy may have loved the people he claimed to ‘hate’.
- The repetitiveness of some key themes and thoughts. I found it very natural.

Separately, the characterization was breathtaking, I thought. Maybe Salinger was doing a bit too much of it (e.g. characterizing the taxi drivers and random kids in the museum), but I could feel he was having fun with it and it did come out very well.

Maybe it’s just me. I love the non-linear, honest stories like this, that don’t drive a specific ‘plot’, but rather explore a person.
Pampers Wipes Refill Baby

This is an incredible tool. I was doubtful that it could perform well enough to justify the price (I had seen it at my vet’s priced at $49). When I saw it at this price I decided to try it. It is worth the money. I LOVE it – and so does my dog.
Thanks!!!

Ordered a bunch of these, to connect up to a new LCD TV.

No complaints whatsoever – they do their job, and at a no-regrets price. Honestly, it’s almost hard to believe that retail price for HDMI cables once stood at the $25-30 range for a single cable (and you can still spend this much at some places, if rumours are true), when perfectly servicable cables are now available at this price. Amazing.
Columbus The Musical Crossroads

I had to read this book in high school. Oh my, it was so scandalous back then. I wanted a copy after the author passed away and reread the book 40 years after the first time. How our morals have changed. Still an awesome book. R.I.P. J.D.
