I’m almost finished a signed copy of The Sink: The last days of driving, by W. Messer, author from Gravenhurst, and if you’d like it after I’m done leave a comment.
I’ll leave the book behind the counter at The Little Red Roaster in Wortley Village with your name on it. Say hello if I’m there. Chances are good.
The book was a slow starter in my humble opinion but as it progressed I got more of a kick out of it and laughed out loud on a few occasions.
The book is not in pristine condition. I read while riding on a recumbent bike and make marginal notes every once in awhile (e.g. funny blog, rare wit).
I wrote ‘funny blog’ after reading one of the headlines Pappy had cut out from the local paper and pasted up at a driving seminar for all to see:
Car kills man in barber chair (That wasn’t it. I laughed at the last one.)
Three officers hit investigating same accident
Gas jockey incinerated
Backs over whole family: “I thought they were seed potatoes.”
I know. I shouldn't laugh. But some people are really bad drivers.

So, good luck out there and I hope you get the book next.
