Lots of things on my mind….
The word at my sister’s work is that they are ordering a magnetic name badge for everyone to wear and folks aren’t all that thrilled with the idea. It will be helpful for their customers/clients but a drag for them to have to keep remembering to wear them and not losing them. Unfortunately you gotta do what you gotta do these days to keep the boss man happy. They way I look at it, it certainly could be a lot worse, they could be receiving pink slips and jobs aren’t easy to come by these days.
It is really important to have either a red flag or some red reflective tape to put on the end of an overly large and long load in a vehicle. I’m not sure if there is a law concerning this or not, I’ve never heard of anyone getting warned or ticketed for not placing a warning for the people that are behind you so that they won’t come too close and have your load combined with theirs.
I don’t have a problem with depth perception per say, but I know that there have been several times that I would have continued on if not for the red flag or tape catching my attention letting me know to back off. I don’t even like driving behind a truck, any truck, especially a loaded truck for fear that some thing will come flying off of it (and it happens all the time) and either come through my windshield or make me run off the road or run into someone or something else.
I’ve seen so many horrible things happen on the road to too many people that I know and care for. We are always going to be dealing with safety issues on our roads. Every day thousands of people are getting their driving licenses that we find ourselves having to share the road with and look out for and after. I’m so glad that I’m not on the road trying to make a living anymore, it’s just crazy out there and the ever rising price of gas, I saw it today for $3.78 and to think that just a few months ago it actually got down to under $3 for a few days.
I miss my grandfather. He passed on several years ago, leaving my grandmother grieving and broken hearted. We do what we can to keep her busy and the whole extended family has pulled together to make what is left of her life one that isn’t full of loneliness and old memories.
My grandfather did manage to leave me a small portion of his massive assortment of weapons that were divided up between several members of our very large and extended family. I have several really nice holsters as well and he made sure that each weapon came with an good amount of bullets and cleaning kits and all kinds of other accessories that one might eventually needed, even a great handy dandy handgun safe that I keep most of the handguns locked away in.
