Driving—You’re Responsible

It’s almost too easy to drive a car these days. Everybody used to have to drive a manual transmission, coordinating the clutch, gas, and brake pedals in addition to the gear shift: you had to pay attention. And before power steering became a standard feature, drivers were forced to keep their hands at “10” and “2” because you had to actually steer the car and hold on with an iron grip or the lousy shocks and bumpy roads would tear the steering wheel out of your hand. But today, it’s child’s play to handle thousands of pounds of steel and horsepower with a single hand—even no hands at all if you prop your elbows just right so that your fingers can manipulate the keyboard on your cell phone. Once you get it down, driving a car is super easy; the hardest thing these days is learning how far you need to reach to hit the cup holder without looking. These days there aren’t enough distractions involved with driving the car; therefore, many people occupy their free time at the wheel by manipulating their own distractions.

Simple way to let soldiers overseas know we care

It’s about 2,263 miles from Gilroy to Nashville, TN. That seems like another universe when you get a call from your daughter who’s in college telling you she’s been hit by a drunk driver in a car accident. Cayla’s OK, fortunately, getting over the sore and scary parts, the sirens, the ambulance and the late-night visit to the hospital. They arrested the guy on the spot. The officers told him to take his cowboy boots off before walking the line, he staggered around, fell, tossed the boots and failed, Cayla said. She had been studying for a pediatrics nursing test at a coffee shop and headed home when he smashed into her. Hug your kids, call them, tell them you love them and try to remember that life can change in an instant.
