"OUR STREETS AND HIGHWAYS"

One very familiar place to find lines are on the streets and highways. We travel them everyday and would be lost without them. They keep us going in the right direction and most of us on the right side of the road. I think some drivers would be better off driving a horse and buggy, but then again, maybe not. What I would really like to see on the roadways is manners and most of you know what I mean.

When braving the busy roadways, I also rely on roadside signs. They are the ones that really keep me on track. I cannot say that they keep me from getting lost, because sometimes all the road signs in the world could not keep me from turning right, when I should have turned left. Every once in awhile I do run across a roadside sign that causes me to stop and say a little prayer. It is the one where a cross has been placed because someone has died there. That is a reality that I hope I never have to deal with. Now, death in fiction, I can deal with all day long, because I know it is fiction. I love a good suspenseful movie, or a great mystery novel. When I went shopping in Sirocco’s Curios, I ran across a great fiction novel for sale.

 It is called “Roadside Crosses” and was written by Jeffery Deaver. This is actually an audio book that is read by Michael Pawk. The plot has a different kind of a twist. The killer leaves roadside crosses as an announcement of his intention to kill. Audio books are great for those that cannot see well enough to read. When my mother’s eyesight began to fail, she really enjoyed audio books. They are also great to take on long trips. If you do not like murder mysteries, Ecrater Stores Network has other stores that also have audio books for sale. Take a moment and stop by.
