Commercial Auto Dealers

On Monday, I told you three ways my wife and I passed the time during our road trip. Today, I’m going to tell you three more ways. Maybe you can use these yourself the next time you find yourself driving across the country.

Sound Off
Since we were both stuck in a vehicle together with few distractions, we took the opportunity to discuss what we didn’t like about each other. I told her what I didn’t like about her mom and she told me everything she had against my family and friends. That was a tough couple hours, but we understand each other better now.
(Okay, this one was just a joke. Don’t try this at home…or especially in closed quarters.)

Go Somewhere New
We have friends all over the country. As a result, we’ve driven to these places more than once. But this time, we decided to switch it up a little bit. We took a small side trip to see some things we didn’t take the time to see on previous trips. It was a lot of fun, too!

Talk about the Past
If you’ve known each other a long time, you probably know almost everything there is to know about each other. But there are still some things you don’t know. We tried to find things we didn’t know about the other and we discussed those things. We learned a lot about each other driving through Mississippi.

Why not plan a road trip with your spouse today? There’s only a few weeks left in the summer so you better do it soon. Before you go, visit your local GMC dealer and find a new or certified vehicle to take with you. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a trip.

The hearse limousines were present in the nation’s capital last Thursday as mourners gathered to say goodbye to former White House press secretary Tony Snow. I don’t want to make this post into a political thing, but I was a fan of Tony Snow. When other press secretaries took the podium, it seemed to be a snooze fest. But Tony Snow brought something different.

Tony Snow was entertaining when he answered the reporters’ questions. He was sarcastic when somebody asked a stupid question and it always made me cheer. I can’t think of any specific questions or examples except for one time when he told a reporter something like, “Of course not. That’s just stupid.” Who else would say things like that behind the White House’s podium?

President Bush was also in attendance at Snow’s funeral. Of Snow, he said it was a life “far too brief.” He also said that the nation “will always remember his wry sense of humor and abundant goodness. We will also remember he was lots of fun.”

Tony Snow died on Saturday, July 12 of colon cancer. He had another bout with cancer in February 2005 while he was still a commentator at FOX News.

Regardless of your political affiliation, you would have to agree that he brought something different to the press conferences and Q&A sessions with the reporters. His wit and humor will be sadly missed.
