From: Greg K. on 30 Jun 2010 21:16 Well, of COURSE you're right! But when the eyes start physically hurting then closing, the car starts swerving, time to pull over or let someone else drive! I think my wife doesn't like to drive in the rain, snow, night, directly into the sun,hevy traffic, stop & go traffic, etc. , JUST so she can read, watch movies, nap, eat, drink, etc. (well, the driver can eat and drink too but have to rely on others to get for us!). I think it's a female conspiracy.

Maybe it's rare that we're in that position to HAVE another person willing to drive! I could be dead tired and still take quite a while to fall asleep if my wife is driving. Greg

Try a google search for "public domain books". Be sure to have a large number of cd's, then you have to carry them. Hmmm...here's an idea...bring a laptop loaded with audio books & mp3s, a usb, firewire or bluetooth connection to a car stereo with a like connection, a power inverter to run the laptop. Lot of stuff to have to make it all work but would be cool! Greg

He says "maybe next time", every time I try to >get him to let me drive. Hasn't happened yet. Don't know why... (in my >best Dustin Hoffman voice) "I'm an excellent driver". LOL. Kitty, I gladly let my wife drive if she offers. I even ask if the weather is good, mild traffic, she doesn't have to get off the highway (even though we have a gps that works good most of the time). I really DOES help and I do appreciate it when she does. Keep trying! Greg
