20,000?
We saw half that many on our commute to work this morning!

I killed a dog on my way to work last Friday. No, I am not bragging, I am confessing. In truth, the death of this unknown dog haunts me so terribly that it has taken a week for me to be able to write about it. I have never hit a dog or cat on the road before. I used to think that was...

We're all hearing the reminders about the new cell phone laws that go into effect July 1.
Come that day, adults can't talk on a cell and drive unless they use a hands-free device. And those under 18 can't chat on a cell phone while driving at all.
