We are really enjoying our Wii. I am glad that I did some research to find out that not all bundle’s come with everyting you need. As far as the Wii itself… we love it. We are really getting into the games and love how you have to get up and move in order to play the games we have.

Metal clamp/fastener very flimsy, poor grade alloy, loses it spring tension under mild road wear. You get what you pay for.

What a beautiful book! Our book club read it as a second choice but it quickly became #1. I grew up in this era and never did understand some of the do’s and don’ts I was subjected to. The book answered many of these questions. I only wish my grandmother was still alive so I could ask her….”why?”. I would love to hear her answers as she was a most tolerant and understanding woman. This book is a definite keeper for anyone who has a need to know how the civil rights movement looked from a different perspective, how those most affected feared for their lives, their jobs, and their families if they dared to speak out. The courage and tenacity of Aibiline, Minny and Skeeter brought tears to my eyes many times. A must read!!

I don’t feel this seat is any more comfortable than the stock seat it replaced. Build quality is A-1, but lacks in justifing money spent to replace the original seat. if I didn’t have to pay return shipping, I would return it….

I’ve been using this mirror for a few years and really like it. Like my helmet, I’d feel a little unprotected without it. I used a handlebar mounted mirror previously – which was good – but having a mirror that rotates with your head provides more utility. You still need to look around you for hazards but this type of mirror reduces the time you take your eyes off the road. Most of my riding consist of commuting and some single track riding. The flexible shaft provides good freedom to orient the mirror for a proper view. The view is quite clear and not blurry (not much vibration). I even use it for off road riding, mainly because I forget to take it off and haven’t noticed any ill effects from the extra bumps and vibration. The original mounting tape failed a while ago and was replace with a piece of double sided styrofoam tape you can pick up in most hardware stores. Free play in either the mirror ball joint or helment mount can be remedied with a dab of glue or shimmed with tape (gafers tape is great!). Just bought another one for a new helmet.

I didn’t read “The Catcher in the Rye” until I was in my late twenties, after I had served in the military and completed a couple years of college, so I bring a different perspective to the novel than most readers, who are probably teenagers and have read it in high school. Suffice it to say that I didn’t experience the spiritual revelations, nor do I share the literary reverence, that the novel seems to inspire.
Everybody knows the story: After getting booted out of prep school for bad grades, Holden Caulfield, the teenage hero of the novel, ventures into the wilds of New York City during the Christmas holiday. Apparently in search of himself and a meaning for his life, everywhere he goes he finds fakes, frauds, and phonies. He has some kind of nervous breakdown and ends up in a rest home talking to an analyst — which is where he’s been all along while telling his story. Holden is a likeable character, a well-meaning dolt with a big heart, and some of his observations are hilarious; and although the plot gets somewhat tedious after awhile, the revelation at the end of the novel — that Holden is in a rest home — ties everything together in a simple, plausible conclusion.
A few years later, I tried to read “The Catcher in the Rye” again — and couldn’t get past Chapter 4. Why? It wasn’t the famous swearing that irritated me; the too-many instances of “goddam this” and “goddam that” are annoying enough, but they fit Holden’s character as perfectly as his red hunting hat. It wasn’t Holden’s sarcastic remarks and observations that annoyed me; teenagers talk like that, and Holden is, after all, a teenager. The problem is, after all those years, Holden was still a teenager. Some characters seem to grow and mature with you; and when you return to them again in later years, they seem to reflect your own maturity and experiences. But Holden was still what he was before: a whiny, annoying, irritating smart-ass. I shelved the book and haven’t opened it since.

I’ll be honest! When I saw a 3.1 HDMI cable, 6 feet long, for $2 and change, I thought it had to be a joke. I was very impressed and a little shocked that it even showed up. I’m using it for an X-box 360 and it works like a charm. Very impressive

My daughter loves this helmet. She was all excited when it arrived and she still loves it. I think that it is cute and a nice helmet.

This was a gift for my wife. Loaded with features. The included software could be better, seems a little dated. The Garmin Connect website is great, thought.
