Well Beleive it or not everyone it is already that time of year. I hope our friends SOUTH of THE BORDER, are taking advantage of the day off to be with friends and family, and are giving THANKS. Be it a VETERAN (who you could also invite for dinner) or family for dinner, or just plain relaxing and planning for CHristmas.

A lot of people here and in the United States, for that matter, everywhere have lost their jobs. Those of us fortunate enough to still have a job, should certainly be ready to give whatever we can. Be it a DOLLAR, A DIME, OR FIVE DOLLARS. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. IN ONE OF HIS MANY FAMOUS SPEECHES, ( I HAD A DREAM) he stated he can change the world one person at a time, not everyone all at the same time. We can do the same by donating just a DOLLAR each time we pass a FOOD BANK, OR SALVATION ARMY, COLLECTION BOWLS. Etc.

However, this blog is to remind everyone about the DARK SIDE OF THE HOLIDAY.
IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN THEFT IS RAMPANT.
1) Drivers should be reminded DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR LOAD WITH ANYONE
2) ANY SUSPICOUS activity should be reported to the authorities immeidately.
3) DRIVERS SHOULD BE REMINDED THAT THEY should only park in well lit supervised secure areas at all times
4) When picking up or delivering DRIVERS SHOULD BE REMINDED TO arrive with a FULL TANK OF GAS. In case of emergency or breakdowns.
If possible DRIVES IN TEAMS OR IN FACT IN TANDEM IF DELVIERING TO THE SAME LOCATION.
5) ALways check every time you stop ALL SEALS ARE INTACT AND IN PLACE
