Technology and distractions – what have we done!

As written for The Insurance Hunters. Please visit their blog. I currently have the pleasure of being able to drive two new vehicles; one for work and one for pleasure. Both of them have new technology within the seating compartment that makes driving…shall we say…different than it was a mere ten years ago. Although some…



Funeral processions…the need to know

I recently had a long-time friend pass away. It was unexpected and was caused by a heart attack.

Did you see a sign?

In just about every jurisdiction around, you need to know what basic road signs mean in order to get your beginner’s permit. In Ontario, you’re allowed 4 signs wrong out of 20 and can still pass that portion of the written test. That’s not bad, but shouldn’t we know what all of the signs mean?…



Come on; get lost!

We all take trips throughout our lives that force up to figure out how to get there. It can be pretty simple to get from point A to point B if it was the same route every day. However, every now and then we have to travel to places we’ve never been to before. How…
