Message for the Holidays...;)
With the Holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and driving.
As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends. Well, two days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a cab home. Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident. This was a real surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it.

Ahh yes , the YELLOW car.
I take the YELLOW car , train or just send out a S.O.S to the little woman or my kids. When it's warm I TRY and walk home sometimes. Takes me 2 1/2 miles of walking to make it 2 miles home , but well worth it. Saves alot of trouble. Stay safe , and Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all.

Now you know how to get home without getting pulled over....steal a cab.
I'm usually pretty careful about how much I drink when I'm driving, much much more so when in the Z. Merry Christmas folks.- Steve |
