Thank you so much. <br /><br />I agree with you about the car. The problem is when things go wrong. Like the time I had a car with heated seats to keep you warm. One winter, as I was driving, there was smoke underneath me and the seat caught fire.<br /><br />God bless you, Lynn.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-77095934803446776162016-04-19T07:42:34.764-07:002016-04-19T07:42:34.764-07:00I can't imagine driving that car!

Do we REALLY need a cell-phone on which we can watch TV? I already have a TV at home, do I really need one whilst I am travelling? <br /><br />God bless you and yours, Manny.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-637379118446914522016-04-18T18:38:13.295-07:002016-04-18T18:38:13.295-07:00Plus they are supposedly working on driverless car...Plus they are supposedly working on driverless cars. I know exactly how you feel. All these devices are crazy. When I travel for work, I'm usually carrying my laptop computer, my blackberry phone which is synced to email, my ipod with all my music on it, and a Kindle for reading. Pretty soon they will be implanting all these devices into my brain, so that I will be hands free.<br /><br />God bless you and your readers Victor.

I love Country music especially from Nashville. Does it sound like that?<br /><br />My favourites are Tom T Hall, Waylon Jennings, Jim Ed Brown, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glazer, Jim Stafford, Merle Haggard ... I don't know if you know any of them.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-34391571137399873922016-04-18T15:57:25.693-07:002016-04-18T15:57:25.693-07:00complicatedcomplicatedshortybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104822128450697901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-34353375952355995792016-04-18T15:11:14.825-07:002016-04-18T15:11:14.825-07:00By the way, Vic, you should try talking to the pho...By the way, Vic, you should try talking to the phone with a redneck Southern twang in your voice!luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520683067915486215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-70703102684409358542016-04-18T11:02:55.859-07:002016-04-18T11:02:55.859-07:00Too true, Linda.

They should put a warning on those remote controls!<br /><br />At least my GPS does not tell me to watch out for pedestrians, or I am driving too close to parked cars.
