Does Road Rage interfere with your love of driving? Can you enjoy being on the road when the threat of road rage lurks in the next lane? Can you take pleasure in driving when the road rager may, at any moment, be YOU?
Driving is not something that occurs like a sudden sneeze. It is an intended act, and it can no longer be taken for granted. A driver must prepare in advance by following some smart ideas, otherwise his lack of preparation can lead to danger or death. continue reading »

Life in an RV can be wonderful or frustrating, depending on what you make it. The author lived full-time in an RV for two years, working on a commissioned book. Actually, she lived in two RVs, one after the other. The first was a 20′ motorhome. Those of us who were “full-timers” rather than vacationers joked about the way to get along with your spouse in a small RV. Whenever you meet going in opposite directions, hug and pivot. We hugged and pivoted in the tiny 20′ motorhome for 365 days. Then we “moved up” to a 30′ 5th wheel and continued to hug and pivot for another 365 days. It was part of keeping a happy marriage while living 24/7/365 in a small RV.

Truck driving jobs allow those professionals tough enough to handle the hardships of the lifestyle, a means of exploring this great country of ours. From Bangor, Maine to San Diego, California or Tacoma, Washington to Key West, Florida . . . there are a lot of miles to cover for the professional over the road truck driver. Through it all . . . between those endless miles . . . the truck driver sees it all.
You will find many ads for truck driving jobs describing the excitement and freedom of the open road. They lure in the unexpected by imploring you to “get away from it all” and enjoy the feel of freedom that only a truck driver can know. The truth is . . . truck driving, specifically over the road truck driving, is a rough and tough lifestyle that few can handle. As the number of vehicles on the road today continues to climb and there appears to be more autos than roads, you do not have to be associated with truck driving jobs to experience the rise of “road rage.”
Never impose onto others what you would not choose for yourself’ [Confucius in ‘The Analects’ (XV.24)].
In its simplest form, a real estate encroachment is real property that extends onto adjacent land owned by someone else. For example, if someone builds a shed at the edge of their property without knowing the actual property boundaries, the shed may extend onto land that they do not own.The building of a structure entirely or partly on a neighbour’s property constitutes an encroachment.

Why Your Body Needs a Detoxification
Gasoline smells and fumes, road construction smoke that enters your car when your windows are down, second-hand cigarette smoke that comes from a smoking stranger nearby, paint thinner fumes, highlighters, unknown substances that burn while cooking, fast food hamburgers and cheeseburgers, as well as many other foods and random fumes that we are exposed to make a certain impact on our bodies. All of these impacts are usually negative. On the flip side, though, there are several ways in which one can overcome these negative affects. One sure-fire way to rid yourself and your body of all the unknown substances that enter your lungs and your body is a total body detoxification. If you have never heard what that is before then you may just be in for a surprise. But it turns out, though, that a true body detoxification will really help your whole health in the end and it is a practice that everyone should engage in.

It can take as little as 4.5 hours and be traffic and problem free, but just as easily you can be met with congestion and road repairs, extending the trip to six hours or more. On the other hand you can elect to increase the length of your journey by taking in a few select sites and some interesting scenery, including a snow-capped volcano near Puebla and another peak near the Orizaba / Córdoba cut-off.
The first leg of the trip is from Mexico City to Puebla. The main problem you will likely face is leaving the nation’s capital, along a thoroughfare known as Zaragoza. Unless you happen to be starting out very early, or late at night, there will be congestion, so much so that vendors of soft drinks and water, snacks, freezees, and an array of other foodstuffs, will be walking ever so slowly, meandering through the lines of stopped traffic, plying their products. And therefore, arriving at Puebla can take anywhere from one to three hours, the latter applying particularly during extended rush hours and on the weekends. The name of the game is patience, plain and simple. And if you’re picking up a rental car at the airport, ask your attendant to draw a map, and regardless of its quality, at every opportunity ask other motorists and pedestrians how and when to turn onto Zaragoza. Once on this “highway” your only difficulty will be getting off of it. To give you an even clearer picture of the congestion on Zaragoza, in 2004, while driving a three ton cub van on the roadway, the police wanted to pull us over (for who knows what reason), the cruiser several vehicles back with siren blaring. We elected to simply ignore the command and continue, hoping the traffic would never allow the police to catch up and they would eventually give up. It worked.
It use to be that Satellite Navigation was only found in the expensive cars that only the rich could afford. Now with technology changing so rapidly it is becoming a lot less difficult to benefit from having a navigation system. From road maps to weather forecasts a satellite navigation system can provide you with almost any destination information that you are looking for.
A vacation can be more work than desired when having to use road maps or directions off the Internet. Your navigation skills might lead you in the wrong direction but a navigation system will provide you with the maps of the various regions you are driving in. This is done by signals sent out by the unit to a satellite unit in orbit that communicates exactly where your car is located. Therefore even if you are off track you are never lost.
