It’s never too late to change

I know we’re in a hurry to do things these days. It’s part of our society to be busy. Part of the problem we have is that we run out of time to get everything done that we need to get done. Do you ever find yourself rushing around to get things done that you…



Is there winter etiquette too?

I’ve written about driving manners and proper driving etiquette a few times over the years, but sometimes we need more frequent reminders to help the driving community become more driving friendly.
