It’s time to play nice with others…while driving

I remember as a kid my mom and dad giving back to the community through volunteering. They still do that, especially my dad. I learned from them and have gotten involved in my community as well. If you do the same, doesn’t it feel good knowing your actions are helping someone else? I recommend each…



Can experience be taught?

I enjoy statistics…sometimes. I enjoy looking at statistics while watching sports on TV. It doesn’t matter whether it’s football, hockey, basketball or baseball.
