One item in the news lately has been the plans of the country of Canada to expand their gas and oil production and delivery. After a failed attempt to have a pipeline built from Alberta to Texas, they are exploring other options. Now they want to deal with China.

They are proposing a 731 mile pipeline from their oil sands to the coast in order to easily deliver their gas to China. I certainly wish that the Obama administration could have worked out a deal with Canada so that we could have their gas.

This year I was desperately trying to make some new years resolutions. I really plan to try to keep the ones I made. I want to lose some weight and so I have made a promise to myself that I will spend more time at the gym.

Another resolution I made was to change my driving habits. I know that I have using my cell phone while driving and that this is a dangerous practice. From now on, I will take my calls only when I have reached my destination or are in a safe place to talk.

One thing that really bugs me is getting a flat tire. I recently had a tire getting low and so I tried a product called fix a flat. It helped me get my tire back into working order and I was very happy. The directions are straight forward and simple. You just shake it up and squirt it into your tire.

The bad part is that I had a flat on my truck. Unfortunately, the fix a flat product did not work at all in this instance. I was very disappointed and was not satisfied at all. I still have mixed feelings about the product but will continue to update you on its value.

One thing that I could never live without is my car. I rely on it for everything. When I go out in the driveway to start it, I expect it to work. That’s why I was very disappointed when it failed to start the other day. It turns out that all I needed was a jump start as my battery had gotten low, but it got me to thinking about taking it in for some general maintenance.

The problem I had was that even though I have been living in this area for awhile, I never really found a ford repair shop that I was happy with. I naturally don’t trust repair shops and I can be quite picky about the work they do. I started looking around online to see if I could find another shop to find. I found a few new places and decided to try one.

In the end, I found a shop I liked. My car got some of the love and care it needed and I feel much about its reliability. I’ll have to tell all my friends about the new shop I found. It won’t be too long before I will have to buy a new car, but I hope this one will last for awhile longer.

I guess just about everyone has seen somebody driving down the road while using a cell phone. The only problem with that is that it can be very dangerous. A new study found that accidents involving drivers who text are increasing dramatically. People who use the phones are easily distracted and are not keeping their eyes on the road.

The new information has raised debates on whether or not to ban cell phone use while driving. The problem is that laws are hard to enforce and many people like using their phones in their car. We’ll have to see how this debate turns out.
