Rough Pavement (MM #4697)

When heading to work the other day, I saw one of the overhead highway signs bearing the message ‘Rough Pavement Possible.’ I didn’t think anything of it and kept driving. Then, a few miles down the road, another sign had that same message. At that point, it struck me that they meant to watch out…

Time To Retire (MM #4696)

Through the years, I haven’t thought much about retirement. I should have planned ahead, but I could never imagine calling it a day. I have some friends who started planning back when they were in their 20s. Most people stay where they’ve been living, but experts say you may need to move to get the…

Potholes At Night (MM #4694)

Sloppy Joes (MM #4693)

Back in the day, one of the most popular lunches for kids was Sloppy Joes. It was almost as popular in the school cafeteria as that square they used to serve.

Multivitamins (MM #4691)

To stay healthy, many people take multivitamins every day. For kids, it starts with Flintstones Chewables, or maybe gummies. As we get older, popular choices are Centrum or One-A-Day.

Fear Of Flying (MM #4690)

Airplanes have been in the news a lot lately. Last week, there was a problem with the door plug on the Alaska Airlines flight. Yesterday, I read a story about a passenger noticing some wing bolts missing on a Virgin Airlines plane. I’ve never had a fear of flying. I remember flying across the country…

Snow Cream (MM #4689)

Last week, we had our first significant snowfall in a few years. Typically, Nashville only gets 4-5 inches of snow each Winter, But last week, we got nearly 8 inches in less than a day. And everyone wanted to take advantage of this rare occurrence. Naturally, many people went sledding. Some tried to build snowmen,…

Overhead Signs (MM #4688)

I’ve been driving for a long time. And much about how we travel by car has changed over the years. We used to carry paper maps and now have that information on our phones. Until a few years ago, the radio was the only way to learn about traffic accidents. But now we have phone…
