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…

The article points out that more than 5,000 teenagers die in car accidents every year. “If we saw these numbers coming back from a war zone, it would be on the front page every day,” says Vincent Leibell, a state senator from New…
