Defensive Driving Tips

A Green traffic light does not mean Go 

Green means that it's legal to go; it doesn't mean that it's safe to go.

If you're the first one stopped at at a red light, and the light turns green you better look before you go. A few years ago, a local teenager did not look, and she died a few seconds later. She was the first car stopped at a red light, and when it turned green, she legally proceeded straight ahead, and right into the path of a eighteen wheeler that was running its red light.

A short while later, I passed by going in the other direction.  I'll never forget that beautiful April morning.  The hearse.  The sheets up over her shattered car.  She was 17 and on her way to high school.

So, when it turns green, look before you go. Look left, then proceed into the intersection, look right, then proceed across.

Most devastating sports loss ever

Feb 3, 2008 - Super Bowl XLII  New England Patriots vs. New York Giants.

As a sports player I can think of nothing worse than to have your first loss of the season be on the last game of the season.

The Patriots loss far more than just a Super Bowl, they loss something only one other team in all of NFL history has; they loss a perfect season.

It took the greatest play in Super Bowl history to make the greatest loss in sports history.

I still lose sleep over it.  I wonder if any of the players do.

Words that drive me nuts

Food

Our society is preoccupied with food.  The concept of loving food is disturbs me.  "I love food!" he says. Can you be more specific?  Are your referring to tacos? ham? pickles?  Or they ask  "Do you love lunch?" Well, it depends on what is being served.

Taste

The food advertising industry is overly fixated on "taste".  They push "taste".  They focus on "taste"  Everything seems to be about "taste".  Eating is far more than just the taste; there's smell, texture, fat content, health content, visual, etc.....  And when waitresses start asking me "How does your food taste?"  Do they not care how it smells? Better would be to ask "How is your roast?  Or how is the steak?  etc....

Eat

Gone are "What would you like for breakfast?"  and  "What would you like for lunch?" and "What would you like for dinner?"   In is "What would you like to eat?"  Class is gone.

Actually

This word is so far overused in our society it's sad.  Some people use this word in every sentence they speak.  It's filler.  It's padding.  It's like "Um".
