5 Simple Ways To Get Your Car Ready For Winter
Yesterday I was checking my anti-freeze on my vehicles making sure they had the right blend of anti-freeze & water so my engine block doesn't freeze this winter, and today I checked the tires and discovered a nail in one of my tires, I'm glad I caught that problem before it turns 5 degrees outside. So don't wait til it gets too cold outside to check over your vehicle because freezing cold temperatures will be here before you know it.

Hurricane Irene and Owensboro Tornado Seem More Frightening From Afar
August 28, 2011 Now that the east coast has, thankfully, said, “Good night, Irene,” I’d like to toss in my two cents regarding a comparison between the hurricane and our very own beloved 2000 tornado. First, I can’t speak for any of those who were affected by Hurricane Irene, nor would I make that attempt.

Dave Spencer Longs for the Those Lazy, Hazy Days of Winter
July 21, 2011 The sun is closer to the earth in the winter than in the summer. That statement tempts me, ever so greatly, to say "Hah! I don't believe it!" Except that it is true. But, seriously, you could have fooled me! This is ridiculous, my friends. Utterly ridiculous. I was watching a forecast recently on one of the 24-hour news channels, and its resident chief meteorologist said that the type of heat we are getting is usually reserved for tropical locations, you know, like the Equator! That's odd, because I honestly don't remember the move!
