Ugh! Those horribly impatient drivers! Have you ever sat through two red lights because the car in front of you didn’t proceed when the light turned green? Sure, you could have honked at them when the light changed. After all, everyone else does it. And you, amongst many others, are sick and tired of those…
I was watching a demonstration of drones delivering an Amazon package to coordinates in the middle of an open field. The delivery time was spot-on and the drone flew overhead, about 50 feet above the recipient, then flew back overhead and dropped the package. A tiny parachute ejected to lessen the impact, but the box…
I have always found that it is not a good idea to catch up on your beauty sleep while driving a car. I remember being on a road trip and I was about 20 miles from home, but I was driving fatigued to the point that I could barely keep my eyes open. I knew…
Another year has come to an end. And, with that, a new year begins, bringing hope and a fresh new start to be the person that you really want to be. Becoming a kinder, gentler person (like Ghandi, only without the shaved head and lack of appetite). This New Years Eve, on my resolution list,…

Parallel parking is the worst thing that will happen in many people’s lives. When you need a parking spot in a city, you need to know how to parallel park. Before you go park in the real world, go practice with cones. It’s much easier to crash into a cone than it is a person.…
If you are found with an open container of alcohol in close reach while you’re driving in Texas, you could be charged with a Class C misdemeanor and up to a $500 fine. This kind of legislation was first passed in 2001 and has more or less remained unchanged since then. Along with getting charged…

Later analyses changed the term to “highway hypnosis,” made popular by an article from Griffith Williams in 1963. According to experts, this condition is another…
