Keep Calm and Get Organized

Did you know that an organized car is a safer car? No really, we’re pretty serious. Loose items can, and often do, become projectiles during hard braking or accidents. Objects flying through your car at high speeds can cause serious injury to front and back-seat passengers.

January is Get Organized Month, so why not start preparing for Spring Cleaning season by organizing your car? Your efforts will be rewarded in the form of a safer, organized, and more confident drive that will make time spent in your ride much more comfortable.

Funny Florida Laws

Florida has some pretty ludicrous laws. Take a look at the 5 we found below:

-If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
-It is illegal to sing in a public place while wearing a swimsuit.
-It is illegal to sell your children.
-Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.
-You are not allowed to break more than three dishes per day, or chip the edges of more than four cups and/or saucers.

What silly Florida laws have you found?

Worldwide Christmas Traditions: Mexico Feliz Navidad

While we have all seen the strategically placed bright red-and-green plant around the holidays, does anyone know where it originated from? In 1828, Joel R. Poinsett, the American minister to Mexico, brought over a plant from Mexico to America. Due to its bright red-and-green coloring, it seemed only fitting that it would be perfect for the holidays. After his arrival the plant, called a poinsettias after Poinsett, started showing up in greenhouses in 1830. Soon after, in 1870, New York stores began to sell them during Christmas time and by 1900 they became the universal symbol of the holiday we all recognize today.

During winter the highway becomes an icy death trap, with frozen steppes, icy lakes, mountainous snowdrifts, and the bone-chilling temperatures. During the few summer months, July through August, the 700-mile-long stretch of unpaved road leading to Yukutsk turns into a mud wallow overflowing with traffic.
