It took several minutes for the emotion of the moment to pass. I just sat there. Then I looked back at the TV. Dorothy was in the field of flowers with her companions. She was under the spell and had fallen asleep. It began snowing That is how she awoke. It was snowing. It was snowing. Eight hours of snowing, sleeping, awaking, getting back on course, remembering one's purpose. Snow. I was awake.

When you're shopping for insurance quotes (or, specifically, auto insurance quotes) you're looking for two things-good prices and good coverage. If you're constantly backing into lampposts, rear-ending the guy in front of you or finding yourself at the bottom of a 10 car pile-up, you're not going to be able to find either of those! What can you do? Work on making up with whoever's pulling the strings, and do damage control when it comes to your insurance.




Yes, you do have to be aware of possible fallout. If you DO name somebody publicly, you better have all your facts and be able to prove them. The last thing you want is to be brought to court on some libel suit. These can be very expensive. Imagine blasting somebody for not finishing a job on time and it turns out his wife had a baby that day. Forgetting everything else, that just turns into very bad PR for you.

Here is the update. You just never know when the wind will change and all of a sudden what you thought was important before, doesn't even matter anymore.

The current Indianapolis 500 champion, Dan Wheldon died in a 15-traffic pile up on lap 11 of the 2011 IZOD Indy Car World Championship race on Sunday. He was 33.

The state crew workers were still in the area diverting traffic from I-35 at the time of the second accident. The white SUV or van was still on its top at the time of the second accident. The second accident occurred between 9 am and 9:35 am.

First and foremost, consider signing up for a driver improvement program. Oh, we're not saying there's anything wrong with the way you're driving right now. It's just that insurance companies are all about the math. If you're in an accident, manage to pick up a speeding ticket or get busted for some other form of moving violation, there are going to be negative points on your license.
