Still Driving


Book Description

They’re out there...in a league of their own! We’ve all seen them with their bizarre driving techniques and vehicles that are more suited for the junkyard than the road. Get ready for some enjoyable reading like “The Umbrella Policy” or “The Many Uses of Duct Tape,” as observed by the author, Diana Pengitore. This book will have you laughing out loud over things that you never thought were possible. A must-have for anyone who shares the road. “This is a delightful journey over America’s roadways that encompasses many of the things we encounter on the highways that make us shake our heads in disbelief. Dr. Pengitore presents these in a humorous fashion and peppers them with her whimsical comments. A page turner that will leave you howling...and, if it so happens that you see yourself in this book...well, FIX IT!” -Carl F., VA “This book is not only a must-read for those of us who drive but also for those who are about to and for some who probably shouldn’t (if you’re anecdotally described in here, that’s you).” -Jan D., NJ “Well, after thirty-eight years of driving, the author surely has gathered a lot of experience on this subject. I will agree that there is a big difference between driving in Germany and in the USA. The German’s dearest child is the car, which is taken care of very well and is always kept clean and in good repair. And, the German TÜV watches with eagle eyes just to make sure that the technical condition of each car is maintained through thorough biennial inspections. If there is a major technical problem, the car will not pass inspection and will not be allowed back on the road. Then there is law enforcement, who really takes care of the safety on the street. After all, Germany is the country of law and order! Then you go to the land of the free, the United States of America. Diana Pengitore’s book accurately describes everyday traffic there. The book is easy to understand, and the author presents her experiences in a very humorous manner. You surely will have some belly laughs while reading.” -W. Fries, Germany

I Don’t Text While Driving, Walking, or Standing Still


Book Description

Roger Dale Loring is a genuine baby boomer who finds his existence in the rapidly-changing world rather perplexing. In his latest book, he once again offers a collection of lighthearted essays about his dilemmas from the perspective of his current "if-they-don't-have-a-senior-discount, I'm-not-going-there" age. Realizing that the aging process evolved in a way that his adolescent mind never envisioned, Loring now finds that his views on life changes are disturbingly similar to the views of the old people of his youth, people he frequently characterized as old fogies. His essays highlight his humorous take on life that include opinions about issues such as cell phone upgrades; a man's attention span while operating a television remote; seasonal purse shopping; the differing conversation patterns of men and women; the three hardest part-time jobs in America; the crazy world of politics where preaching to the choir dominates all campaigns; and, of course, the trauma of buying toothpaste.
