Really? Could this really happen??? Could a low flying airplane pull you over or use a bullhorn to alert you to your speeding ????!!! I have seen these signs on I-95 and other highways for years.

1-800 How’s My Driving?
So many of you know my current anti-bullying theme right? As we teach kids how to prevent bullying and deal with bullies, I am noticing more and more adult bullies on the highways and byways of life.

Holiday catalogs
Well, I tried to stop the flow of unwanted gift catalogs into our home this fall, but they haven’t ceased yet. Maybe next November? We recycle most of them, but there is one that is really fun to peruse. I have been enjoying The Vermont Country Store Catalog immensely.
