Last night we enjoyed watching Alabama win the National Football Championship – Roll Tide!!!!! Today, it is snowing in Birmingham. People in Alabama are good at cheering on their football team. However, driving in the snow is not one of our strengths. Please stay off the highways and stay safe at [...]
Okay, I hope that I got your attention. Pretty cool video about the white deer, isn’t it? Sometimes in lawsuits, people think something is strange and not true. One of the biggest misconceptions the public has is that you cannot be seriously hurt from a low impact rear end wreck (what people [...]

One thing that you should not have to see is the death of your son, daughter or loved one because of an accident. No parent expects to see their child die before them. I previously wrote that in Alabama, we are the fourth highest in Teenage Deaths. I discussed in another post which is the [...]

I was commenting to my friend last night as we were watching a game that I could remember when they put in the 3 point rule. Back then, few could consistently make the shot.

I walked out of church today glad that I was wearing my overcoat. It has gotten colder. Let’s face it, if we wanted to experience cold weather, we would live in the North or in one of those ski resort areas or go for a visit. However, in Alabama we are used to driving when [...]
I ran across this photo of a wreck at OneMansBlog.com. It looks funny, a FedEx and UPS truck in a wreck. However, many wrecks, collisions, or accidents result in tragedy, death, and permanent injury. I know that I sound like a broken record. However at that risk, be careful. [...]
I hope that you have a safe holiday. If you travel to other parts of the country, remember that you may be driving in weather conditions we normally do not have in Alabama. Bridges freeze faster than the highway in cold temperatures. It is a good idea to travel with a blanket in the car [...]
