I’m am living the life today, facial (a freebie no less) and I’m off to the gym now and later…’letters to congress’ writing – oh and now the UN (thanks for throwing that in the mix, Doug!) and then maybe, maybe I’ll do a little work, ha, not, not today…! Later on, a golden walk on cliffs – it’s totally amazing what the sunlight does at 5PM there, it’s magicical, wish you could join me sometime.

Doug, you’re response to yesterday’s anon was priceless, could not stop laughing, you go, Boy (real man) : )

Enjoy, Zen Lill

People who learned to drive using conventional brakes often use antilock brakes incorrectly, reducing their effectiveness. Key: The rule for using conventional brakes is to pump them during a hard stop to keep them from locking up and causing skidding. But antilock brakes pump themselves automatically multiple times a second, which helps maintain steering control but at the compromise of an increase in stopping distance.

Safety: When buying or renting a car with antilock brakes, try them to get a feel for how they work.
