High winds wreaks havoc with drivers

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow…well, you know the rest. It’s been pretty windy here lately and that wreaks havoc with drivers and pedestrians alike. Any time high winds are in the forecast we need to travel with more care. Do you drive differently during high winds? With the winds recently traveling up…

Well, they’re back. Another season of Canada’s Worst Driver has returned. This is season nine, but with a little bit of a twist compared to the previous eight seasons. If you’ve watched the series each of the first eight seasons, I’m sure you’ll recognize some of the participants. The producers have brought back previous participants…

I enjoy teaching and spending time with people. It’s been fun teaching my own son how to drive and recently he had a chance to drive on a dark rural road at night. I know many people would refuse that type of drive, but he actually asked to drive as we were heading off to…

Is it an accident or a collision?

We’ve grown up hearing how at times words can be hurtful. I’m sure we’ve all said things that we may regret later in life. We’ve also said things that essentially mean very little. I think it’s all about how you take what’s been said. To some people, words mean very little. They’re just words. To…

Changes can be tricky

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

As most people do, I like new things. I tend to buy new things for my family instead of myself, but I do like new things regardless. Sometimes doing something different is just what I need to change things around in my day. After all, who wants to do the same things over and over…

Rain, rain go away…

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day. Remember that little song as a kid? I sometimes have that song in my head even as an adult. Mainly because there are things I need to do and the rain slows down my day. The main thing the rain does to many drivers is slow down…

Funeral processions…the need to know

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I recently had a long-time friend pass away. It was unexpected and was caused by a heart attack. I was able to attend the visitation but was unable to go to the funeral or travel to the cemetery for the burial. Ironically, I was also recently asked shortly afterwards about the responsibilities of drivers who…

Peer pressure…how well do you handle it?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I’ve been around kids regularly ever since I’ve been a kid. Some people would even say I’m still a kid. I’m hoping that’s a good thing. I also have a habit of watching people. I like to see how people in general cooperate and interact with others around them. To some people, they seem to…
