Conversation With God – #1 by Walsch is an excellent book, and one that I believe every rational person who is seeking enlightenment needs have in their personal library—regardless of how vast or limited it may be. This particular purchase was part of me buying it for (and sending it to) a relative of mine.

What an awesome book…the characters, the setting, the details…I felt as I was right there every step of the way. Set in the depression a young man’s ivy league education takes him on a tremendous life changing journey to the circus!!! Read this book in a weekend, couldn’t put it down and yearning for more when I finished. Apparently they are now making this book into a movie and it will be interesting to see it on film.

Let’s start with the fact that this book is an American Classic. It deals with the coming of age of Holden Caulfied, a completely incoragable young man who is not always likeable. That’s the thing that sucks you in. This kid swears, smokes, lies, gets kicked out of school, etc. etc. Not exactly the kind of book I want my teenager reading, but in the end, the story all comes together.
***Possible Spoilers***
Holden is quite intuitive and really sees the underbelly of human nature and the false bravado with which adults live their lives. He, of course, is full of false bravado himself (the scene with the hooker shows that). He calls them like he sees them, even at the expense of others.
Is Holden a hero to teens or a rebel without a cause? The answer lies in your own interpretation of this story. Give it a try.

I work on multiple computers and occasionally have to bring another computer into the mix for repairs. This KVM is small, well laid out and simple to use.
It has proprietary cables with one end looking like a VGA connector and the other end has three connectors: Keyboard, Video and Mouse. Because of the single head at the KVM side, it takes up less space.
You want your “default” PC – the one that is on all the time – to be connected to port 1. After that, you can use the other ports as you want to. I found that if I didn’t have something up and running on port 1, port selections after that were hit-and-miss.
You can switch between screens with a keypress (ctrl ctrl 1, 2, 3 or 4)or you can use a button on the device itself.
It is simple, reliable, small, and affordable. The only possible downside is the proprietary cable.

These darts really don’t last long in our house. Reloading them and shooting them over and over makes them start to tear. The darts themselves also hurt at close range! But my boys love the guns that they go in, so I guess it’s worth it.

Starting with the good. The rack was very easy to assemble & is very sturdy. The rack will hold securely 4 different style of bikes if you alternate handlebars. It locks and unlocks easily with the push of a lever & twist of a heavy duty, rubber coated wingnut. It does swing & lock out allowing access to a tailgate or lift gate. I can also access my liftgate glass while the rack is not swung out. The bike mounting arm (which I have used as a surfboard platform at the beach while changing)can be collapsed when not in use.
Now the downside. The rack fits a standard 2″ receiver but I had to enlarge the hole on the rack hitchpost to accept my locking bolt for my hitch. The rack is very heavy. When not mounted, the rack has to be laid down, it will not stand up by itself. I would buy this item again but I would do a more thorough search for a swing out rack that allows you to place the wheels of the bikes on a mounting platform in wheel racks.

This book is great start to finish. I didn’t want it to end. I will miss these characters. The writer does such a wonderful job of painting such a poignant setting. Loved every second of it.
