Road trip ideas for your bucket list – or this summer
I’ve traveled throughout much of the United States, but one place that I haven’t gone is Hawaii. It’s probably the place I most want to visit, but I have yet to plan a trip. So, if I’m doing research for a new post, a newsletter, or whatever other project I might be working on, and an article I open starts with “Snorkel Oahu,” you can … Read More
Do as I say, not as I do – teaching our daughter good driving habits
Habits, especially bad habits, are hard to break. I frequently tell my daughter, “It takes 21 days to break a habit.” Whether or not that’s true, I don’t know, but it sounds good and it gives her a goal to work toward. Particularly when it comes to creating good habits that will make her a responsible and productive adult. As she nears the age of … Read More

Honk if you … well, maybe not
Did you know that honking your horn in New York City can score you a traffic ticket with up to a $350 fine? It’s true.

Jeep® Wrangler and Cherokee top Cars.com “Most American”
What do Crayola Crayons, Pyrex bake ware, Wilson footballs and the Jeep® Wrangler all have in common? Besides being American icons, they are all manufactured right here in the United States of America. Recently, in fact, Cars.com named the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee the two “most American” vehicles on their American-made index. “As a descendant of the military Jeep that helped the Allies … Read More
When the going gets tough, the tough drive Jeep®
Awhile back, I posted about members of the Chisholm Trail Jeep® Club who spent the better part of two days helping fellow Texans out of a jam when ice storms hit the Metroplex. Other Jeep owner’s groups, like the Paducah Jeep Owners Club (PJOC) Retrieval, in Paducah, Kentucky, are also fueled by the effort to help others. According to Chris Samples, one of the PJOC … Read More
