Recorded books and other things

We just got home from Texas and we are feeling sad .

It is hard to leave Jack, he has grown soo

much and has new words, but more

about that later.

*****

This is a warning to those of you that get recorded

books for your road trips.

**

We (I) picked up "To The Nines"

by Janet Evanovich-

**

performed (?) by C.J. Critt

***

Let me tell you, this CJ Critt is almost

enough to make me forget about recorded books.

She has an annoying voice, think nails on a

blackboard or styrofoam rubbing against the

interior of your car.
*

Her use of "dialect" is a joke.

She made the grandmother sound like Gilbert Gottfreid.

and made the main character sound like a cross

between a valley girl and warped Penny Marshall cd.

**

And the old Italian lady sounded like a nasaly impaired road

company gypsy. I grew up in an Italian neighbornhood

and have NEVER heard that accent - E V E R !!!

*

Jeez, I will write this name down and NEVER

get another recorded book if her name is on it .

*******

OTHER THINGS ....

*****

IS it just me or are any of you noticing

the quality of semi drivers on the road?

**

These people USED TO BE PROFESSIONALS.

Now since they cannot run 90 mph due to

black boxes in the trucks they find other

things to do instead of focusing on the road..

*****

You see them with cell phones, radios,

tv's and we have all heard (and seen proof)

of the piss bottles that they use while driving.

I think if they are caught with the piss bottle they

should lose their CDL's. How much time would they lose

by stopping to pee like a normal human???

Seeing those containers of piss in the rest areas is

disgusting!!!

****

I am so sick of seeing these "professionals" weaving

all over the roads while trying to multi-task.

WAKE UP -

Drive like your life

(AND MINE)

depends

on it ..
