Be careful! Seasonal Drinking and Driving

Now hears a real thought and a great idea!

Be careful during the holiday parties.

I would like to share a personal experience with all of you about drinking and driving.

As you well know, some have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on the way home from an occasional social session over the years.

A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had several bottles of Sam Adams, a brandy chaser, and a drop of red wine.

Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before ~ I took a taxi home.

Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a taxi, they waved it past.

I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a taxi before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage.
