rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author grassyknoll - We needed a new car. We both know that gas prices are only going up. Hybrids are fairly a new thing, and they run in the small size. Hybrids also are only designed for cities, as their efficiency decreases on the highway. Plus, I never seem to hear...

Tue, 26 Nov 2002 14:57:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author grassyknoll - Update: The Bose is fairing well, there is a new TV for it to work with. I find it frustrating that Bose remotes aren't compatible with domestic brands, or any brand for that matter. That would save the remote clutter on ye old coffee table.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author grassyknoll - Desert Solitaire is my favorite book. I've loaned out more than a few over the years. When it doesn't come back, I go down to the local used bookstore and buy another. It is quite an adventure. I've read it four times, I believe, and I suggest this...
