Having to argue with two dizzy Alexas doesn't seem like an improvement. BTW, when the TV is on it is difficult to hear what Alexa is saying, and since she will also be listening to the TV it will be even more difficult for her to hear me. I get a lot of stupid search finds that are totally unrelated to what I'm looking for even when typing in the search item. And then of course I finally find the item I'm searching for, only to discover it isn't free to Prime members. Arrggghhhh!

Grand Tour is really good. And it is free to Prime members. I'm glad Richard Hammond didn't kill himself this summer in his latest nasty crash. I always assumed they had professional drivers do most of the driving scenes and only used the actors for closeups, but apparently they really do let the actors drive more than they probably should.
