A Consumer’s Guide to Auto Insurance

Drivers need to be in possession of certain documentation in order to own and operate a motor vehicle legally. Naturally a driver’s licence is necessary, as is a vehicle registration. However, drivers also need proof of automotive insurance to be able to operate their cars and trucks. Auto insurance helps protect a person’s finances by covering the cost of bills resulting from accidents or other incidents involving vehicles. Navigating the basics of auto insurance can be a little tricky, but consumers can use this guide to gain a greater understanding of their policies and coverage.

Did You Know Hunter Safety

Hunters and non-hunters alike are familiar with bright orange coats, hats, vests, and other gear that is worn during hunting season. Even though it seems counterintuitive to wear “blaze orange” in the fields or woods for fear that animals may spot you, hunters need not worry so much. Deer typically cannot recognize blaze orange attire designed to make hunters visible to other people. According to researchers at the University of Georgia, a combination of factors make deer less likely to be startled by blaze orange. Deer have less binocular overlap than humans. Binocular overlap (the area that both eyes view at the same time) allows focus on a single point and enables depth perception. Deer must shift their heads much more than humans to gain a good three-dimensional perspective of an object. Deer also have fewer cones in their retinas compared to humans. Cones are photoreceptors that enable color vision and distinguish fine details. Furthermore, deer cannot readily perceive longer wavelengths of color, so oranges and reds appear more like brown or gray to them. However, deer can see blue colors more easily, so hunters may want to avoid blue jeans paired with their orange gear.

Have You Heard These Important Things?

White Rock Center closed in 2016 (after an exciting opening in 1973, the year I graduated from E. T. S. U. and began teaching in F. H. S.) and had thrilled skaters for more than 40 years. It is now for sale if you have a spare six or seven million dollars and a feel for fun, food, excitement, and romance! I remember skating there once; I remember falling more than once, and I remember that there was a “MONEY MACHINE” that “blew out” mostly onedollar bills, but also some larger, for the lucky “birthday boy or girl” to try to pull out of the pulsing drafts! The rink was close to White Rock Lake; I think there was access to the roof, and it was quite the glamourous place to go— don’t know why I only went once!
