Fred,
they definitely are good reads. I have about 100 or so tapes. However, do not listen to them while driving a motor home to a distant gun show. I was listening to a book while driving to the Chantilly gun show and I ended up missing a few signs. I ended up in never never land and low on gas.

I also learned not to listen to them while driving to that show on the turnpike. O-O-O WOW! I looked out the window while in Pa and saw that I was driving along side a big cliff and it was a L-O-O-ONG way down. I turned off the tape real fast, said my prayers and held the wheel in a deaths grip after that.

During that trip, I also learned that you wouldn't want to listen to them while on that big circular drive that goes around Washington DC. People there show no mercy to motor homes that want to change lanes. I also learned that, on that highway, the pavement get very slippery when its wet. I almost clobbered four cars when I had to hit the brakes.

As a side note, if you do go to the Chantily gun show or even to Washington DC, catch the NRA museum. But don't go in a motor home. The parking lot is very small and its hard to manipulate a motor home in there. I think that I got lucky and hit it at a time when there were few cars there. But I think that I counted 11+ Lugers in there. But I couldn't read the dates or markings and didn't see any artilleries or navies. Bummer!

Oh! I almost forgot. While deer hunting, don't pull out the tapes before 8:30AM and after 4PM unless your in a blind. Thats when the deer are moving where I hunt. I learned that the hard way twice last year.
