>Ah, don't I just wish. I used to read during my commute on the train when I worked in downtown Toronto, but now that I work 80 miles away, and have to drive, I find that when I try to read at 80 miles an hour on the highway, the book keeps slipping off my lap. ;)>>>>>

>>>You're joking about the dashboard bookstand, right? It's bad enough already with half the drivers on the road messing around with their cell phones.

>>That's why prefer the books on mp3. That way I can close my eyes while it drive. ( I find seeing those other cars coming at me to be very distracting - especially if I'm tripping. )

>Note to self: avoid driving in the Cleveland area at all costs.
No kidding. Every time I drive there are all these crazy people screaming and yelling. Fortunately if I drive really fast I can't hear them as well.
I put the Mensa sticker on my car because I got tired of hearing people yell "You stupid a$$hole !!!" They don't call me stupid anymore !

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
