No scream for ice cream

It’s that time of year; kids outside playing, having fun with their friends. With the nice weather comes more outside activities. As a father of four kids, I’m often tied up with getting involved with their activities such as coaching baseball, soccer and camping. Another common activity a lot of kids have is searching out…

There are a lot of things that people within our society take for granted sometimes. We’ll take for granted that we’ll have food to eat every day, a roof over our heads and clothes on our back. To quite a few people those aren’t really reality. They work very hard week after week to keep…

I remember as a kid when my dad would take the entire family for a drive. It wasn’t just any drive; it was a Sunday drive. I referred to the Sunday drive to my son the other day and he seemed a bit confused. What was the difference between driving on Sunday versus any other day…

Stop distracting me

It happens every day we drive; distractions. We tend to be our own worse enemy. We’re curious by nature, but when does that curiosity turn into danger? Distracting ourselves has been going on since time began. It’s always a difficult task to stay focused on one thing when something else that may be more interesting…

We all know,or should know, that we should share the road with pedestrians and cyclists whenever we approach them. Sharing the road means safety for both parties. Whose responsibility is it for safety; the driver of the vehicle or the cyclist? Why not both? I see kids on their bikes riding on the sidewalk, but…

Stop for a second and take a deep breath. What do you smell during this spring day? Flowers blooming? Freshly cut grass? Maybe the true smell of spring and summer; freshly laid asphalt. Yes, it’s true. We have two seasons; winter and road construction. We can survive this season of road construction, but you have…

Spring fever; do you feel it? I love the spring season. The fresh air, the plants coming alive, better fuel economy and great driving music. You’ve got to love the driving music! I’ve started to witness more drivers getting spring fever. They’re driving with their windows down and arms hanging outside while they drive. Does…
