Be Aware on the Road.

Although Maryland is not known for it's sinkholes, they do happen.

The most common States where sinkholes are more likely to occur:

Florida

Texas

Alabama

Missouri

Kentucky

Tennessee

Pennsylvania

Sinkholes are naturally occurring holes in the surface

of the earth.  They can form gradually or suddenly.

They form in areas where water flowing underground

has dissolved rock, leading to underground voids.

It's become imperative to 

Be Aware to be a Safe Driver.

The Right Seat.

Vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes

of death for children between the ages of 1 and 13.

We know we've seen it happen.

3 out of every 4 car seats are not used correctly.

We've seen the effects on loved ones.

Car seats saved the lives

of 9,600 children between 1975 and 2010.

We've seen this too in our line of work.  Happy endings.

Did you know that our State law in Maryland

requires children under age 8 or 57" to

be in a car seat or booster seat.

Learn the facts here and save a life.

Dawn and Dusk

Dawn and dusk is the absolute worse time

for mosquito's to find you!

How do they find you.........by your smell!

If you use a product like Deet, be sure to spray

on your clothes only and not on your exposed skin.

These chemicals can seep into your bloodstream, 

which is not a good thing.

Here's a natural repellant that you can

whip up on your own:

Daily Mom’s “Bug-Off” Insect Repellent Recipe

Daily Mom 

• 6 ounces witch hazel
• 2 tsp vegetable glycerin
• 20 drops citronella essential oil
• 20 drops eucalyptus essential oil
• 10 drops rosemary essential oil
• 5 drops peppermint essential oil
• 5 drops clove essential oil

Other oils to try: geranium, lavender, any oil from the mint family, 

vanilla, lemongrass, tea tree, cedar, catnip.

Once you’ve gathered your oils, 

pour in a spray bottle, shake and apply every 

2 hours while you’re outside.

Once bitten here are some tips:

- Antihistamine cream will relieve the itch and swelling

-Ice pack

-Aloe Vera gel (keep in the frig where it's nice and cold)

-1% Hydrocortisone cream

Hey, we get bit too!  So we wanted to share a few tips

to keep you safe from these pesky critters during the summer month's.

Did you know?

Some interesting facts about Maryland:

State Bird:  Baltimore Oriole

State Reptile:  Diamondback Terrapin

State Fish:  Rockfish Striped Bass

State Crustacean:  Maryland Blue Crab....ooh, yummy!
State Insect - Baltimore Checkerspot Butterfly

State Dog - Chesapeake Bay Retriever

State Flower - Blackeyed susan

State Tree - White Oak

The state flag of Maryland was officially adopted in 1904. 

 It is the only US state flag based on British heraldry 

(the coats of arms of noble families). The flag's design was based 

on the coat of arms adopted by George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore. 

The alternating yellow and black are from Lord Calvert's family shield; 

the red and white design is either from Calvert's maternal family, 

the Crosslands, or his wife's family, the Mynnes.

We love our pets!

We love our pets and they love us!

So let's be sure to take care of them this summer.

Heat and humidity are sweltering for us and them!

It takes approximately 30 minutes for a dog

to become overheated and possibly a fatal situation

in a closed car - which becomes an oven, reaching

temps above 115 degrees.

Please, please.........should you lock your keys in

your car take immediate action.  If you call

George's Custom Towing, be sure to tell us of your

situation so we may get to you as quickly as possible.

We have pets too and love them just like you do.

Here are some quick summer dog safety tips:

- Do not walk your dog on hot asphalt............ooh, hurts their

little feet.

- Do not shave your dog, they get sunburns too!

-Check your dog for ticks

-Provide plenty of water

Does your dog have heat stroke?

Any signs of nausea/vomiting, dehydration, loss of

consciousness, stumbling, heavy panting, bright red tongue

or brain damage...............please rush to the Vet!

Lightening Strikes!

When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!

Separating myth from facts:

Are you really safe in your car during a thunderstorm?

There is some truth to rubber tires grounding and

protecting you from lightening while in a vehicle.  

Your vehicle must have a hard top roof, windows closed

and keep away from all electrical devices that are plugged

into the car.

The danger of being in a vehicle when lightening strikes

include:  damage to the antenna,  electrical system, 

rear windshield and tires. 

Check with the NOAA before

heading on a road trip:

Kudos to our employee Darrell who tries very hard

Poor farmer......even tractors breakdown and that's just

not fun.

I wonder if this is covered by AAA?

..asphalt, that is!

As we approach the hottest time of summer

be aware that the pavement is heating up

and this heat is brutal on your tires.

last year by under-inflated tires and road heat.

To avoid an accident and injury be sure

to keep your tires properly inflated.
