An insightful high school English teacher introduced me to Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye.” It was a book report assignment not only to capsulize the story but also to address my personal experience reading it. At that time – as I recall – I found Catcher daring and quite revolutionary in Holden’s exploits and language. Rebellion in those days was often repressed and silent. Holden broke that mold and for the first time I met a literary character with whom I could empathize. He represented freedom to express and the guts to criticize.

Now, fifty years later – motivated by Sallinger’s death – I reread “Catcher in the Rye.” A very different experience, indeed! By today’s standards and my own personal evolution, Holden emerges as a complaining, negative and whining fellow. You want to take him by the shoulders and shake before dragging him to the nearest mirror for a hard look. Still, the book is a classic – a product of its time – and offers new perspectives in the revisit. It works on many levels and is a must read for youngsters of today who are bound to appreciate the differences, and for seniors who take pleasure in recalling the rather stilted days of their youth.

Before purchasing this item, I did a Google search to find the most economic price. Amazon came up with the best. I couldn’t believe how much cheaper the item was that other places to order. I was a little sceptical that maybe I wasn’t getting a new item. I took a chance and was very pleased with the Garmin vehicle mount. It was in great condition and came just as advertised…very much less expensive than any other place I could have ordered. I will be ordering from Amazon again.

Ordered steam vac Sunday and received it today with the one day shipping. Got it out of the box, put it together and used it on the area rug! Carpet is now clean and I’m so happy. Amazing how disgusting the dirty water was! I had the hoover widepath before and the container where you put the cleaner broke off. $50 for a new one so I held it in place when I used it. A few months ago I turned the brushes off to use attachment and when I went to turn brushes on again, they wouldn’t turn. I couldn’t figure out the problem and husband wouldn’t look at it so I put it in the trash after using the attachment one more time to clean spots on the rug. Less than two weeks later and somehow the dog and kids had the carpet looking awful again. After researching I found this to be the best one, especially for the price. The widepath was more expensive and probably did just as good at cleaning. Since there aren’t separate containers for clean water and soap in this new one, I don’t have to worry about that part breaking and hopefully this one will last me a long time. Only used once so far but am very happy!

Works great! It keeps accurate mileage and it is easy to setup. A pause or reset would be nice because I have to keep the unit inverted until I get on the trail. I only want to track how far I hike; I don’t want to track the drive to the trailhead. This is a major design flaw. I still give it 4 stars because of the quality and accuracy.

So I haven’t read this book in about 10 years. I just randomly decided that I want to start reading again to help add some imagery and metaphors into my song writing – believe me, reading does this. So literally 5 minutes ago, I did a google search for this book, and the first thing that pops up is that JD Salinger died yesterday, the article was created at right about the same time I was thinking of getting this book again. Fate? I dunno???

Have been working with MS Works and MS Word Perfect and the old version of Word. Works is good but not that great. About the same for Word Perfect. 2007 version is going to take some getting used to but once I figure it all out, I’m sure I will love it. Amazon did a great job with the order. Once ordered it only took about 3 days and it arrived in very good condition. Amazon does a good job. Will continue using them.

My 4 month old son loves this item. It’s clipped onto his car seat. It quickly calms him when he gets fussy in stores or when he’s getting buckled in. The volume is perfect too for walking around stores. There are 2 sides to the mobile. He can look at the stickers or the dangling animals. Either are very engaging.
