New Year's Eve Traditions

Tonight is the night to ring in the new, with a kiss at midnight, banging pots and pans,
noise makers and a chorus or two of Auld Lang Syne:

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne.
CHORUS:
On Old long syne my Jo,
On Old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On Old long syne.

.......and around the world people, other countries have their own traditions
to bring in the New Year!

Denmark - for Danes it's customary to throw old plates and glasses at friends'
front doors!  The gesture is actually welcomed - a heaping pile of broken dishes
on a home's doorstep is considered lucky, because it shows those inside 
have many friends.

Philippines - Filipinos wear polka - dotted clothing and eat round shaped foods 
during their festivities.  The circular shapes represent coins and are believed to
bring prosperity.

Spain - in Spain, it's tradition to quickly eat 12 grapes, one as each hour chimes 
at midnight, to bring good luck for each month of the coming year.

Japan - Celebrating in Japan often involves dressing as the New Year's zodiac 
animal and attending the local temple, where bells ring 108 times, a sacred
number in Japanese culture.

Wishing you a happy, healthy and safe
New Year

Scents of the Season

Oh, we're in the quick of it now!  Spicy scents of the season
making us feel all warm and fuzzy!

Oh, but they do so much more............and here's some tid-bits for you
to ponder this holiday season.

The smell of Vanilla helps to calm insomnia.
Sniff Sandalwood to speed wound healing.
A whiff of cinnamon sends frustrations packing!
Sniff Apples to lower your blood pressure.
The smell of pumpkin pie ignites more passion!
Sniff Cedarwood to feel more focused.


We're in countdown mode.......

Oh Where, Oh Where is Santa!

The North American Aerospace Defense Command
has been tracking Santa since 1955.  The tracking system
alerts families around the globe to the whereabouts of Santa
and his reindeer.

Children of all ages can follow the countdown to Santa's visit at:  



NORAD tracks the whereabouts of Santa using infrared
technology..........and of course Rudolph's nose!

Rudolph's nose gives off an infrared signature
similar to a missile launch.  Satellites detect Rudolph's
bright red nose with no problem.

Take a moment to find out where Santa is in your neck of the woods.  
We plan on doing just that at:

Happy First Day of Winter!

Winter Solstice, otherwise known as the first day of winter
and today would be that day!

December 21, 2015 at 11:48pm EST, according to the
Farmers Almanac.


The Winter Solstice

Winter inspires both joy and woe. Some people can't wait for the cooler weather, snow, skiing and ice skating, curling up by a fire, and the holiday spirit. Other people dislike the frigid temperatures, blizzards, and wild weather.

The word solstice comes from the Latin words for "sun" and "to stand still.” In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward each day; the high point in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, which occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day. At the winter solstice, the Sun’s path has reached its southernmost position. The next day, the path will advance northward. However, a few days before and after the winter solstice, the change is so slight that the Sun’s path seems to stay the same, or stand still. The Sun is directly overhead at "high-noon" on Winter Solstice at the latitude called the Tropic of Capricorn.

Winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight during the whole year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs around December 21 or 22. In the Southern Hemisphere, around June 20 or 21.

Read the rest of the article here:  Farmers Almanac 

Wishing you a happy Winter Solstice 

Safe travels this week!

Dispatchers Make A Difference

Recently our Dispatcher Jackie assisted a family whose daughter
had been in a car accident and when the Mom arrived she
presented this card to Jackie to thank her for her compassion
and thoughtfulness during a stressful ordeal.


We so appreciate our customers and especially when they
recognize and appreciate one of our team members!

Unsafe at any Speed

November 30, 2015 marked the 50 year anniversary of Ralph Nadar's
book:  Unsafe at any speed.

The book is responsible for saving untold lives.  Ralph set out to bring
awareness to the inner workings of the auto industry, most specifically safety, or
lack thereof.  Our government listened.

Ten months after publication, President Lyndon Johnson signed the 
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

A study released this year estimates that 613,000 lives have been saved
between 1960 and 2012 because of advances in safety
technology and standards.


Human error can be prevented too........please turn off
your smart phones!

Car Won't Start?

oooh, it's a bit on the cold side this morning!  Your car is feeling it too.........
don't get caught with a car that won't start in the cold weather.

Plug it in, plug it in!  Get yourself an electric block heater for your engine
 that you plug in over night. Keeps the oil warm and the battery charged,
 so your car starts in the morning!

You can also plug in a pair of electric gloves or socks,
right into a USB port on your computer or using 
the USB connector in your car.

Wild stuff!

Should you need an early morning jump start

Jeff Gordon Off the Tracks

After making his announcement January 22, 2015 that he would retire at the end of
this season, Jeff Gordon is now officially off the tracks.

23 years is a lot of racing!


Farewells at the recent Red Carpet NASCAR Sprint
Series Awards included Tom Cruise - which brought
great emotion to Jeff as he made his way to the podium to
give his farewell speech.

Tom Cruise said about Jeff Gordon:
He brought joy to millions, used his immense and deserved
popularity for the betterment of the world both at home
and abroad.


We tip our hats to Jeff Gordon.

Calls Kill

Calls Kill............some pretty powerful words from the 
National Safety Council.  I read this morning that there's an
anticipated 8% increase in road fatalities expected 
in 2015 when the numbers start to roll out.  
It's time for everyone to take personal action
and responsibility on the road.


From the National Safety Council, 
the three biggest causes of fatalities on the road are caused by:

1.  Alcohol - 30.8%
2.  Speeding - 30%
3.  Distracted Driving - 26%

We simply cannot multi-task while driving and that includes
hands free talking on the phone.

Start making a difference today on the road.
