Winter Driving

Preparing for Winter Driving 

How to Drive in Snow and Ice

The three key elements to safe winter driving are:
  • Stay alert; 
  • Slow down; and 
  • Stay in control

It is best to winterize your vehicle before winter strikes.  
Schedule a maintenance check-up for the vehicle’s tires and tire pressure, 
battery, belts and hoses, radiator, oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, 
heater/defroster, wipers and ignition system. Keep your gas tank 
sufficiently full – at least half a tank is recommended. Depending upon 
where you drive, you may consider using winter tires or tire chains.

New Year's Eve Traditions

Tonight is the night to ring in the new, with a kiss at midnight, banging pots and pans,
noise makers and a chorus or two of Auld Lang Syne:

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne.
CHORUS:
On Old long syne my Jo,
On Old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On Old long syne.

.......and around the world people, other countries have their own traditions
to bring in the New Year!

Denmark - for Danes it's customary to throw old plates and glasses at friends'
front doors!  The gesture is actually welcomed - a heaping pile of broken dishes
on a home's doorstep is considered lucky, because it shows those inside 
have many friends.

Philippines - Filipinos wear polka - dotted clothing and eat round shaped foods 
during their festivities.  The circular shapes represent coins and are believed to
bring prosperity.

Spain - in Spain, it's tradition to quickly eat 12 grapes, one as each hour chimes 
at midnight, to bring good luck for each month of the coming year.

Japan - Celebrating in Japan often involves dressing as the New Year's zodiac 
animal and attending the local temple, where bells ring 108 times, a sacred
number in Japanese culture.

Wishing you a happy, healthy and safe
New Year

May the Force Be With Us in 2017

oh my, oh my................we need to wrap up 2016 and quick!

It seems we've had one shock after another in 2016 and no one was left
untouched.  Political, banking woes, along with an unending year of pop culture
decimation.  

Icons Toppled
Mother and daughter; Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher - Gone.
George Michael
Prince
David Bowie

and so many more left us.

Tow Truck Driver Finds Dead Man

............this is getting over the top serious.  I remember recently reporting
here about an injured toddler that was discovered in a wrecked vehicle after
the tow truck had towed the damaged vehicle from the scene of the accident.

Last week it happened again.  Highway patrol called in a tow truck to
remove a wrecked vehicle from the accident scene.  Tow truck company tows
the car back to the lot, opens the vehicle door to put the vehicle in park
and sees "legs" protruding out from under the blown out airbags.  

What?  


and more


Well, this sounds like a wake up call for the towing industry.
Be ever vigilant! You may want to spend just a few
seconds more checking out the vehicle you're towing
to prevent the shock of your life.

..........and NO, I don't believe this responsibility
should be on the tow truck driver.  
But it seems mistakes are happening, so be aware.
