• Bicycle riders and automobile drivers follow the same rules and have the same rights, so bike riders should always ride in the same direction as cars.

• People tend to fall asleep more on high-speed, long, boring, rural highways. New York police estimate that 30% of all fatal crashes along the New York Thruway occurred because the driver fell asleep at the wheel. (Source:  National Sleep Foundation Web Site - Facts About Drowsy Driving:  http://www.sleepfoundation.org/activities/daaafacts.html)

• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says, about 66 percent of all traffic fatalities annually are caused by aggressive driving behaviors, such as passing on the right, running red lights and tailgating.  (Source:  State Farm Insurance Web site - page on Aggressive Driving Facts:  http://www.statefarm.com/consumer/crash3.htm)

• Tornadoes can toss cars and large trucks around like toys. Never try to outrun a tornado. If you see a funnel cloud or hear a tornado WARNING issued on the radio or by siren, get out of your vehicle and seek a safe structure or lie down in a low area with your hands covering the back of your head and neck; keep alert for flash floods.  (Source:  State Farm Insurance Web site's section on Natural Disasters - Tornado Safety:  http://www.statefarm.com/consumer/vhouse/articles/tornado.htm)

    This blonde goes into a restaurant and notices there's a "peel and win" sticker on her coffee cup. So, she peels it off and starts screaming, "I've won a motor home! I've won a motor home!"
    The waitress says, "That's impossible. The biggest prize is a mini-van.
    "But the blonde keeps screaming, "I've won a motor home! I've won a motor home!"
    Finally, the manager comes over and says, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. You couldn't possibly have won a motor home, because we didn't have that as a prize!"
    The blonde says, "No, it's not a mistake. I've won a motor home!" So, she hands the ticket to the manager and he reads "WIN A BAGEL."

Brief Encounter
Written by M. R. L.
From "A Potpourri of All Things"
by Mildred R. Lenhart ©2000

We didn't have a worry
As the traffic passed us by.
We were in no hurry;
When someone caught our eye.
A tiny lad, no more than four,
In a car beside our own,
Blew a kiss and then once more
Rode on, to us unknown.
His young sweet face was glowing
When he sent the kiss our way.
He had no way of knowing,
But he had made our day.

M.R.L.
