Mon, 26 Jul 2010 08:46:08 -0500

Gas Prices - Why not shop! Just looking at the price of gas at the pump. We shop for everything so why not comparison shop for gas. Yes I have heard the same old tired story that "my car will only run on this brand or this grade - BULL". In all the gas I have bought for all kinds of vehicles I buy what is recommended by the manufacturer. Stop wasting money and look around.

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 08:57:27 -0500

What is it with Texting? Why do you or your friends want to text everything? Are your language skills failing? What is so important that you must constantly be in contact with someone? How much time is lost in your life by pressing all the little buttons and then waiting for that all important reply. I was setting at the resturant the other night and a group came in and sat at the table beside us. Seems the whole group spent more time texting than enjoying the moment with...

Texting - is it really a social network?

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:18:36 -0500

Texting - is it really a social network? Had my friends son miss out on his first year of college. Oh he was there but due to his cell all the people he was social with was his high school friends. His entire freshman year at college was spent like he was still in High School. No new friends. no new contacts that are so important for career advancement just an extended Senior year. Such a shame.

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan The Dean of Harvard Law School and banned military recruiters there because she does not agree with the military policy regarding sexual orientation.

The next time some California state official says their town is going to boycott Arizona because of the illegal immigration policy, please understand what they are real...

Insurance - What are you wanting Price or Coverage?

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:15:10 -0500

Insurance - What are you wanting Price or Coverage? That is the question every agent should ask and every buyer should know when looking for insurance. Many times we see people come in and we discuss their insurance coverage - only to find they bought a policy for less price with less coverage. There are thousands of the same autos on the road - only in different colors. Comparing auto insurance with the same coverages is not that hard - if its apples & apples.&n...

High Speed Rail? $ 400 Million

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:10:14 -0600

High Speed Rail - I understand 40 MPH Who is going to ride? So far I only hear development, jobs, expansion but never who will ride the train. Even then how would you get anywhere from the station. Taxi, bus, rickshaw - and the big question is why ride a train that takes so long to get somewhere. There are more ideas about how great it will be but I have heard nothing on who is going to use it and the COST to ride. Ohio does not need anything else that has to be subsidized down the road. Ho...

Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger...
