On a blistering cold Saturday morning in November, my parents and I traveled north to see the 150th meeting between Lehigh and Lafayette at Yankee Stadium. My sister, a Lehigh freshman at the time and already in The Big Apple for the weekend, was texting pictures of the excitement. The NYSE, the Empire State Building, and the subway crowds all sporting brown and white. How could this small university from Bethlehem capture the attention of the greatest city in the world? Then it hit me… it was…

It was a bright summer morning in Big Cypress, Florida. The green palm trees were swaying and the bright blue rivers were peaceful. The long and large alligators were swimming. You could see them bobbing up and down, so all of the tourists could take quick pictures of them. There was a steady flow of people going in and out of the small, worn down nature center. As my family walked out of the car, we took in the sweet scent of Florida in the spring. We all were been in the car for a very long…

Have you ever seen an accident on your way to school and wondered how did that happen or why did that happen? You have seen drivers drive crazy and end up crashing with other drivers, or wondering is it because they do not follow rules or laws? Whether or not there are rules, drivers think this is freedom so that they can do whatever they want. When you drive inexperienced, distracted, under the influence and or rushed, it can be life or death for you and other drivers. First, whenever drivers…

Tom’s the Fiddler Crab Catcher One late afternoon as I look out from a large window where I work, I saw this raggedy white van pulling into the parking lot, as It park towards the north side of the lot I noticed the AC unit protruding from the back door. I changed my attention as a customer came in, I greet him and as usual with his nasty attitude Newport’s one hundred, a blue game and the rest on pump 5. He swayed the bundle up twenty- dollar bill on the counter, rotated around and walk away…

Winter tires placed on all four corners provide the traction and control you need when driving is treacherous. Tire chains go one step further, enabling your vehicle to grip packed-down snow and continue on your way. But when it comes to deep drifting snow, even a four-wheel drive vehicle is bound to get stuck. Until now, thanks to a revolutionary track system that punches through the most challenging drifts. Track N Go: Drifts Begone! The system we’re watching is Track N Go, developed by AD…

Vehicles roar past me down the street and make strands of hair wrap around my face. There are so many colors that surround me in the autumn atmosphere. Pine and evergreen is the smell that enters my nose as I breath. It looks like the typical autumn season. Looking past the trees and cars I can just vaguely make out indigo triangles in the distance. Better known as the mountains of Colorado. We’ve just came back to visit my family in Colorado and I’m taking a stroll down Sand Trap Way in…

Labor costs were the transit operators’ biggest single cost. Up until the advent of the Birney Safety car in 1915, nearly every mass transit vehicle regardless of traction type had a crew of two men; a motorman and a conductor. The motorman operated the car, the conductor was responsible for passenger safety, collecting fares and all other aspects of customer service. Eliminating one man cut labor costs in half on the cars. The Birney Safety car introduced automatic interlocks that prevent the…

I conducted a lawful traffic stop on the Mercury and made contact with the driver. The driver was identified by his Florida identification…
