U.S. News and World Report , in its annual report, says that drivers in New York scored the worst on driving habits, followed by California and Geogia.  I certainly agree with Georgia but I think that South Carolina should be included in the top 5 too.  On the way to work and other activities, drivers in this state are getting worse at speeding , running red lights and tailgating.  It is sad to see this trend developing but civility when it comes to driving is becoming a thing of the past..Lee

I was a little apprehensive about going to see the movie  Star Trek because I wasn’t sure it would meet my expectations since I’m an old time trekkie but I was pleasantly surprised that the producers did some unexpectedly great film making.  And I’ll have to say that Chris Pine did a great job as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto brought a unique quality to Mr. Spock.  It was refreshing to see the mix of new talent.  Thumbs up for Star Trek and I hope you have had time to see this good movie…..Lee

ok…since I drive a Dodge,  should I be worried about the trouble that Chrysler is in and the impending bankruptcy.  Well, from what I have read,  I can put my mind at ease because Chrysler will be back in a better financial situation ,  especially teaming up with Fiat which is an Italian company.   If you drive a GM car, Fiat also would like to buy most of General Motors as well.  With that bit of good news,  I believe that we are beginning a slow process of climbing out of this recession which should bode well for the remainder of 2009……Lee
