Traffic Tip of the Day

By -
Never, ever, ever slow down to let someone in oncoming traffic turn left in front of you when you're on a four lane road. Just because you stopped doesn't mean the driver next to you will do the same. Play Frogger at home, boys and girls, not during rush hour. It's actually the opposite of helpful and jacks up traffic for everyone else.

This is actually exactly how my dad got in a motorcycle accident. Thanks for the tip Vander Molen, glad to have you on board!

20 seconds of Frogger and I'm already addicted. Thanks for the link, Peter.

Now THIS is a tip for my students! We've only had 2 and a half weeks since the break, and already 3 of my kids in a wreck. One as a result of being the person in this tip who didn't slow down!

I spent my lunch break swerving traffic with that little frog while memories of childhood danced in my head. Thanks Peter!

Frogger brings back childhood memories, for sure. I have to confess, though, that a mere two weeks ago I visited my parents and what did my brother and I do? We spent an unhealthy amount of time rigging up the old Atari 800 and playing Frogger, PacMan, and Breakout in the basement. If anyone ever needs to win a high-noon showdown game of Breakout, by the way, I'm your girl.

All of my favorite 8-bit gaming memories involve blowing out Nintendo cartridges until I'm blue in the face. You just don't have that same functionality with today's gaming systems. :-(

Well, I have to say that I myself am a Pac-Man fan and was so excited when they invented the new game cubes with the old games in them. If you ever need a pac-man fix come on over! (sorry no Frogger)

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
