Today, it’s a rainy, dark dreary day. Just because you can see someone else when you are driving, don’t assume they can see you! WHEN IT RAINS, DRIVE WITH YOUR LIGHTS ON! Look in this photograph, it’s hard to see the oncoming car, even though they do have their lights on. Think about how much…
(Jeff Hamilton of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra is playing the drums on this Diane Krall version of “Let It Snow.” Jeff and I grew up in the same town and we both played in the High School Band. Obviously, Jeff is a far better musician and I’m a big fan of him.) Okay, enjoy the…
Image via Wikipedia Over the holidays we enjoy seeing family and friends. Also, children get new toys. Ralphie, in A Christmas Story, wanted a Red Ryder BB Gun. Everyone told him, he would shoot his eye out. The irony is that after he got his BB Gun, he almost did shoot his eye out! Many…
I’ve already written about the change in season and how difficult it can be to see. Driving is fun as this old commercial shows. (These are real stunts done about 20 years ago.) The weather had been great for football and weekend drives. Be careful and enjoy the journey. Yes – don’t try these on…

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 call whiplash). “Strange”…
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 Anatomy…
Yes, it’s March Madness when we have the contest to determine who has the best basketball team. 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. However, last night guys…
You remember from school classes or tests that you didn’t want to take. This is a post that I didn’t want to write. A friend’s father was killed in a crash in another state last night. One minute he was here and the next minute, life forever changed. No more conversations or holidays to share….
