The girls agreed wholeheartedly. Fear was now our companion. We maneuvered the car around on the highway--there were no other cars or lights anywhere in the vicinity.

Have you ever got the strong hunch to call somebody? I remember one instance in particular. I got the hunch to call my maternal grandmother on a Friday. I was rather busy and decided to wait until Monday when I would have more time to talk. She died on Saturday. I always regretted that I did not follow through on that hunch.

The National Safety Commission outlines the dangers of hydroplaning and warns, "Cruise control will want to keep your vehicle going at a constant speed and speed only adds to the problem. Cruise control is disabled when you step on the brakes but that is exactly what you don't want to do in a skidding situation unless your car is equipped with anti-lock brakes." To drive safely when it is raining, or the roads may be at all slick, refrain from using cruise control and drive at a reduced speed.

Anyone and everyone with a license should be aware of the risks that road construction pose to their auto insurance. If you can drive, sooner or later you're going to get caught behind a pile of those little orange cones. Are you ready?




Dan Wheldon went to work excited on race day this last weekend. He was starting in last place. He was the only driver participating in a contest where both he and a randomly selected fan would win $2.5 million if he finished first. This contest interestingly was sponsored by GoDaddy. Danica Patrick was at work this day as well. Her intention was to move, with her GoDaddy sponsorship, full time into NASCAR after this season ended. A mega multi-year contract with Andretti Autosport was about to be announced as Dan was going to replace Danica Patrick beginning in the 2012 season.

The 17th is an uneventful par three, with no blood drawn. The final hole is a great closer. It's a dogleg right that again requires a tee ball that stays short of a creek about 250 yards out. Anything right ends up in the trees, and trying to hit it long and straight off the tee ends up over the fairway and with a big tree blocking your approach in. After splitting the fairway, I found myself 160 yards away and in need of some last-minute heroics. I striped an eight-iron that was tracking all the way - until it bombed over the flag and ended 40-feet long. Calling my putt aggressive is one way to put it - I blew past the hole and onto the fringe. Not my finest close, with four putts securing yet another inferior showing relative to Hansard.

traffic pile In the 2004 movie "What the Bleep Do We Know!?," they show a scene where an Indian Shaman and his tribe were not able to see the three ships of Christopher Columbus for a couple of days as it was outside the realm of their experience. With https://sanxuatsoda.company/ , the shaman was finally able to see the ships. Trusting him, his tribe eventually was able to see them as well.

Avoid tail-gating on the freeway, and do not drive with your high beams on. If you can, avoid the roads during these conditions, but if you must drive, drive slowly, with caution, you may want to roll down the window a bit, and turn off your radio, so you have better hearing conditions. Fortunately it has a tendency to burn off by noon, and is not a nightly feature in the winter. Also, if flying into Sacramento, you may want to avoid early and late flights in the winter season, because of this weather condition.

Accessible from shore, this old wreck is a must-see. At a stunning 300 feet in length, this steam ship is older than the Titanic. The only downside to diving this wreck is that it rests in a harbor entrance. You'll need a guide for this one and Tours are available on Sundays.
