Seriously though I’m headed over to the Germain Arena this morning (I can see it from here) to attend the Faith & Family Expo. That’s where this morning’s Walk-A-Thon takes me. Later today it’s the long 160-mile trip back home again to Homestead.

Have a great holiday everyone !

Driving Hoaxes Internet

It’s the 3RD edition of the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’, and this one is quite simple and straight-forward.

You can not unlock your car door from afar using your spare remote and a cell phone that’s aimed at your car. This is an E-Mail hoax that has been circulated and re-circulated all around the world in a vicious cycle for nearly the past 4 years. It is technologically impossible. It was in 2004. It still is in 2008.

Read all about this Internet hoax.

Don’t be duped by forwarded E-Mails that you receive within your Inbox. If it doesn’t sound right then it probably isn’t true.

1 Comment on The Road Rage Files – Chapter 20

‘The Road Rage Files’ is not just about bad drivers. It’s also about irresponsible and inconsiderate drivers.

This is now the 15TH day in a row in which we have received absolutely no rain whatsoever (0.00) here in the Homestead area. Since November 01ST not even an inch and a quarter of rain has fallen. We are bone dry. We are now a desert !

Now that we know the obvious can you please tell me why drivers are still throwing objects that are on fire out of their moving vehicles ? You are creating brush fires all around us ! We’ve currently got winds gusting in excess of 25 MPH. What you throw out the window (on fire) is setting the surrounding grass and brush on fire. Homestead ARB was socked-in with thick dense low-lying smoke this afternoon because of a wild brush fire just north of the base.

STOP STARTING FIRES ! Keep the garbage in your vehicle !
