Towing and Recovery, There When You Need It
Tonight on the way home from dinner I came off a curb and my car’s muffler fell off its mounts. I couldn’t go any further so I had to call my insurance company to have them send a tow truck. This really nice guy that was dispatched to help me, got there assessed the problem and fixed my car on the spot. His experience and knowledge made the difference. This meant I didn’t have to go to a garage where they might have charged me to fix the problem.
My friends, you see towing and recovery trucks all over. Where there are cars there are people to help you out of a jam in case of an accident or doing something stupid like I did. These men and women are dedicated to their profession and they do it in sometimes dangerous conditions. Whenever you come across a tow truck operator thank them for what they do to keep people safe and to keep traffic flowing.
Thank you tow truck operators for all you do.
Something About Taxes
I am not an expert on taxes but if a tax plan doesn’t pay for itself or at least comes out balanced then perhaps it shouldn’t be forced upon the people who will have to pay for it. Here’s a hint, its not the billionaires or the super millionaires, it will be people who are of middle class and limited means. I am not certain anyone in Washington knows what they are doing.
I did call my senators to express my opinion and I hope it helps to persuade them but I am not holding my breath since they are a part of the problem.
Small Business Saturday, Chattanooga Style
Small Business Saturday was spent at Winder Binder, Blue Skies, Beast and Barrel (for brunch), Jacks Sugar Shop, Bread and Butter (not pictured All Things Groovy). It’s always a good thing to support places like this.
Throwback Thursday – Representing My High School Alma Mater Today #TBT #Chattanooga
The classrooms across Hamilton County, Tennessee were being filled with kids returning to school today. In honor of that I am representing my high school alma mater Red Bank High School in Red Bank, Tennessee today. GO LIONS!
Back To School Time
When I was a kid school started back after Labor Day in the USA because the weather was just a little cooler. These days some kids around the country start back before August. Classes are starting back earlier and earlier these days for various reasons. The challenges our teachers and students face are tougher and they have to be smarter. Our world has changed and the lessons they need to learn are important to their success.
Around the world kids start at different times. For some of my followers their kids are now enjoying Summer break.
Every student, every teacher, every parent has a lot riding on our schools and they need our support. New teachers are coming in as old teachers are retiring and the standards that need to be met are higher. Elementary, middle and high schools along with colleges need to be safe and secure places of learning too. As school starts back lets keep everyone involved in our thoughts and prayers. They need it now, more than ever.
This is a classic commercial from the office supply chain Staples. For parent’s this is a great time of year because the kids are returning to the classroom.
