What a moving experience it was. I couldn’t possibly count all the packing boxes that went into the many military moves of the Donoho family. Thirty years of life in the military was enlightening, fun, tedious, maddening and glorious. We never really took a vacation during all those years. The vacation would invariably happen during our permanent changes of station. We would take cross country trips with loaded cars, pets in tow and somehow managed to make it fun.

A concussion is a mild brain injury that can cause temporary memory impairment. A concussion happens when the head receives a hard impact that cannot be absorbed via the fluid that surrounds and protects the brain. When the brain slams into the skull, it can become damaged. The sudden acceleration can also tear the fragile axons throughout the brain. A concussion can cause temporary unconsciousness, confusion, amnesia and other mental disturbances. Typically, symptoms go away after a few hourDo Car Bumper Stickers Signal Driver Aggression?
Shankar Vedantam of the Washington Post has an interesting piece on a recent Journal of Applied Social Psychology study by Colorado State University social psychologist William Szlemko that correlates bumper stickers on cars — including stickers that signify peace and other seemingly benign messages — with elevated levels of driver aggression.

By law everyone must have a car insurance but the increases in premiums over the last few years are in themselves criminal and are beginning to hurt people’s finances. Unfortunately these constant increases have placed pressure on families with low incomes where they have to choose from putting food on the table or paying for their car to be insured and understandably food comes first. However, there is a great deal of money to be saved with the premium charged, if you know what to look for. ThLet's change the bike laws
Should bicyclists be allowed to treat stop signs as “yields” and stop lights like stop signs? Tomorrow, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Bicycle working group will be pondering the question. Idaho, recognizing the law of momentum is just as important as the vehicle traffic code, already adopted this practice back in 1982.

I think that I've stumbled across three accidents in the course of my life that I could have affected at all. One of them was a burning car that was already completely ablaze; I couldn't tell what color the car had been because it was wreathed from roof to tires in the twin colors of charred black and fire-orange. One was a minor car wreck where someone smashed into a barrier and skidded off the road; I called 911. The third was a purse-snatching I witnessed about a quarter-mile away on the othebrave new media
You know, it has always struck me as amusing how scam artists, hoplophobes, and other people afraid of the truth being exposed have made use of this new, digital media age around us. For instance, after writing my post last night about the scam of trying to run your car with water, I did a quick Google search, and tried to leave a few comments on all of the patently fake, Potemkin-village-style weblogs out there supporting this fallacious technology.

There was a man reading the daily newspaper as he sat in a corner seat at the local coffee house. His brow furrowed as his dark brown eyes glazed over the days news, highlighting tragedy and woe with each paragraph.

Why are people brought here to bear witness to and be so strongly affected by pain, hateful people and lies? Slowly his thoughts turned inward, and he mused over his owCavalcade of Risk #54
