Dear Amy,
Just a reminder. Never run you car in an
enclosed space because of carbon
monoxide. Also if you feel fatigued, pull
over and rest before driving. Always
have a Positive Attitude when driving. It
will help you manage time, your space,
and speed of your car. Remember -
Always drive with balanced emotions
because being overly emotional will lead
to a lack of focus.
Love Dad
Dear Dad,Thank you for the reminder. Don’t forget
to wear your glasses while driving! You
may get a $$$ if you don’t ;-) Also, I
know you are getting up there in age, lol,
so your ability to judge distances and
identifying objects is little impaired so be
careful driving at night. Mom says you
have a hard time distinguishing between
colors and combinations. She says its
because you old but you may want to go
to the doctor to see if you are color blind!Love Amy
