The dashboard on my Acura has a lot of curves and I was skeptical about the stability of this item when I bought it, but it has enough weight and contours to the shape of my dash, so my Garmin is very stable, even over speed bumps. The GPS is easy to lock to the pad, adjusts horizontally and is easy to remove.

I absolutely LOVE my Kindle! I was able to convert all my current files into Kindle files and put them on immediately. This was very important to me because I already had over 200 ebooks in a different format and I wanted to be able to read them on the Kindle. It worked easily. I also love that I can listen to the Kindle read to me on my commute to and from work each day.

I was surprised at the poor quality of this book but I guess appealing to mass markets is the cause of this. The book is a paperback with a very poor hard cover. Paper is rough and poorer quality of paperbacks in general and the printing is small. If you want this book to remain on your book shelf after reading then steer clear of this one. Great classic and is readable.

This memory card handles HD video from my Panasonic Lumix camera. The quality is great, and it is fast enough for the videos.

Water for Elephants amazed me. It was not at all what I expected. I knew it was about a circus, and obviously for the title, an elephant was involved. What I was not prepared for however, was the cruelty it showed. And I don’t doubt for a minute, that even though this was fiction, that these atrocities didn’t happen in real circuses.
We are introduced to a death in the prologue. While it is fuzzy and hard to tell who’s who, we are witnesses to a scene that the narrator, Jacob, has viewed and never forgotten. Mayhem abounds as we discover that the menagerie of a circus is on the stampede.
We are then reintroduced to Jacob, many years later, as he is a resident at a nursing home. He is ninety three, or ninety one, he can’t keep it straight and a circus is in town and being set up within sight of the nursing home. This causes him to reminisce about his time spent with the Benzini Brothers circus.
As a runaway college student, after the death of his parents, he finds himself hopping a train that turns out to be part of the circus train. There, instead of being thrown off, he is taken in by an older man named Camel who secures him a job with the circus mucking stalls, which later turns into a position as the circus’s veterinarian.
He falls in love with Marlena, the wife of his schizophrenic boss August. While he keeps his love hidden, August, dangerous and unpredictable makes life tough for Jacob in the circus while in his better moments is a best friend to him.
He also makes the acquaintance of Walter, a dwarf clown whom he bunks with and together they help Camel in his time of need. He also makes an unlikely friend in Rosie, an elephant picked up from another failing circus whom he feels a bond with and devastation at her treatment from the cruel August.
Throughout the book it cuts back and forth from Jacob at the nursing home, to his reminisces of the circus and its happenings. One of the ending chapters recaps the prologue, only with more detail.
Teenager Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from yet another prep school for failing his classes and having a really bad attitude. Here he recounts his adventures and observations during a weekend on his own in New York City.
I remember being quite shocked at Holden’s anti-social thoughts and non-stop profanity and not liking him at all when I first read this book. It was a pleasure to reread it forty years later and find that my feelings for him had changed a lot; now I find him a bright, charming, and pitiable combination of the social misfit from “Napoleon Dynamite,” the angry young man from “Rebel Without a Cause,” and a bit of Eddie Haskell, too. His penchant for vulgarity and manic emotionality remind me of a scared puppy who’s all bark and no bite; he’s in desperate need of attention and affection and luckily, he gets it.
This classic character study of a troubled boy is highly recommended for mature readers.

The Apple Ipod Touch is one of my most favorite gadgets. It is literally an extension of my life. I do not leave home without it. I purchased it from amazon with 1 day shipping and it got here the very next day which obviously meant that I did nothing for the next 3 hours except explore everything I could on it. I uploaded all my songs, pictures, videos, and some movies, instantly. All of them play beautifully on the Itouch. My baby cousins are also in love with the speakers that enable them to actually hear the games and movies they love. This is my second Ipod Touch. My first one was the first generation Ipod touch. I do love this one for its speakers though.
All in all, a great buy. You just have to love this product.
