In the United States, it's no longer fashionable for the average person, young or old to get involved in things that might actually help the country improve, succeed and better the quality of people's existence.
People are not up in arms like they should be. In this sound-byte and media-driven world, if it isn't happening now, people don't want to hear about it. They don't care about it. They'll get around to it later ? maybe.That's not how America got through World War II. When citizens had to ration gasoline and tires, sacrifice at the food market and even grow their own vegetables in "Victory Gardens," they didn't stop to question why.
They just did it.And that's what won the war. No self-aggrandizing rhetoric. No "what's-in-it-for-me" second thoughts.The job got done. Period.Today too many people hear only what they want to hear. And it's not always good.

Do you pay more attention to your car than your body? You change your oil every 3000 to 4000 miles. You have your tires rotated every other oil change. Your air filter and brake pads are changed at the appropriate intervals.Now, what about your body? You follow the recommended AMA guidelines for routine check ups and other healthcare services. You pay special attention to make sure you eat a balanced diet and always take the time to get enough exercise. The reality is many Americans pay more attention to the maintenance of their car than they do their body.From an insurance perspective, your automobile insurance company has a certain expectation that you will take reasonable care of your car.
Things such as the routine maintenance of brakes and making sure your turning signals work properly are expected by your insurance company. Basic common sense says that proper automobile maintenance reduces traffic accidents and saves both you and your insurance company money.Health insurance...

My Neighbor Got A New Car
I don't know what kind it is, but I saw it on TV running full speed along the shore (I don't live near the shore) throwing up spray or maybe it was that one climbing up the steep mountain trail thru the mud, rocks and snow. Very exciting. (I don't live near the mountains either.) WOW! Just what I need. But there are a few obstacles. It costs about $28,000.
(That's close to the average annual wage.) I have perfect credit and they'll give it to me for no money down. All I have to do is make the monthly payments for the next 5 years of only $541. Maybe it won't be that much because I'll be trading in my car and I have it almost paid for it. I can see me now headed for the beach or climbing that mountain in that shiny new car. I tell my wife.
She says, "So". I say, "Waddayamean ?so'?" She elaborates that our car is almost paid for and hasn't a scratch on it. It looks like new when it is washed and waxed and runs great. She whacks me with if I want a different car we can have...

Winter Car Care
As the weather turns colder, it is time to think about your car for a second. A little preparation can go a long way to making your winter travels a lot safer. Here is a checklist to get you started. 1. Check the antifreeze. The freezing point can be checked with a simple tool available at any auto parts store.
Make sure you check the antifreeze when it's cool. Opening a hot radiator can be a dangerous thing. 2. Check the air pressure in your tires. As the air gets cooler pressure drops in your tires. Maintaining your tire pressures will reward you with higher gas mileage and longer tire life.
3. Make sure you have the following items in your car.

While waiting to be interviewed for a T.V. show which was being videoed in the middle of a mall, I had the distinct pleasure of engaging in a most interesting conversation with a highly enthusiastic, highly energized bicycle courier. It seems to me that many of us have predetermined impressions of what certain people
who perform certain kinds of work might be in fact be like.
If you see yourself as one of those, you will find this story very enlightening indeed. His StoryI have been a bicycle courier for over 12 years and I love my work.
I can be out doors, I can stay in great shape and I meet all sorts of interesting people. It can be tricky in winter on icy days but I have good tires and in summer the August heat can be difficult but I just make sure I have lots of water and I'm fine.I worked in Europe for a while. Bicycle couriers do very well there?they are very highly valued and get paid well. When I came back to North America for personal reasons, it was...
