I am miffed today at gravel trucks that cast off pieces of gravel as they barrel down the roads and highways. Those pieces of gravel tend to hit whatever vehicles are in close proximity. Aside from little car dings, gravel pitched at the right speed and trajectory can do some windshield damage. The drivers in [...]

Ding-ding…my patience has expired.
Some days my ability to exercise patience is better than others. I sincerely try to be kind and gracious when things go wrong or folks make a mistake. But I have learned over time that my patience can quickly fall into a downward spiral after either a series of incidents occur in the same day [...]
