{"product_id":"book-indi","title":"Two Weeks in August","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo Weeks in August by Frank M. Robinson - \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe humblest events sometimes result from the most grandiose beginnings. You'd never imagine space travel starting this way, for instance!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI suppose there's a guy like McCleary in every office.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow I'm not a hard man to get along with and it usually takes quite a bit more than overly bright remarks from the office boy to bother me. But try as I might, I could never get along with McCleary. To be as disliked as he was, you have to work at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat kind of guy was he? Well, if you came down to the office one day proud as Punch because of something little Johnny or Josephine had said, it was a sure cinch that McCleary would horn in with something his little Louie had spouted off that morning. At any rate, when McCleary got through, you felt like taking Johnny to the doctor to find out what made him subnormal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOr maybe you happened to buy a new Super-eight that week and were bragging about the mileage, the terrific pickup, and how quickly she responded to the wheel. Leave it to McCleary to give a quick run-down on his own car that would make you feel like selling yours for junk at the nearest scrap heap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell, you see what I mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut by far the worst of it was when vacation time rolled around. You could forgive a guy for topping you about how brainy his kids are, and you might even find it in your heart to forget the terrific bargain he drove to work in. But vacation time was when he'd really get on your nerves. \u003cem\u003eYou\u003c\/em\u003e could pack the wife and kids in Old Reliable and roll out to the lake for your two weeks in August. You might even break the bank and spend the two weeks at a poor man's Sun Valley. But no matter where you went, when you came back, you'd have to sit in silence and listen to McCleary's account of his Vacation in the Adirondacks, or his Tramp in the Canadian Wilds, or maybe even the Old French Quarter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49403311554864,"sku":"BDindi","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/indi-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770775836","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-indi","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
