Winter is Coming...Here's What to Keep in Your Car to Keep you Safe
The Illinois State Police recently put out a post on social media reminding us that Winter is not too far away.
"PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE NOW FOR INCLEMENT AND WINTER WEATHER!
Extreme weather can have a devastating impact on driving conditions, especially when ice and snow are involved. Freezing rain, icy roads and white-out snow conditions can result in road hazards for drivers of all ages."
Here are their tips on keeping you & your family safe this season.
DIY McRib
Everyone is rejoicing that the McRib is back! You can hear the chanting from down the block. Everyone is washing their hands a little bit more due to the bbq sauce residue and it's wonderful.
All is right with the world.
But it isn't always like this. The McRib will leave soon and we'll have to settle for a McChicken or a Double Quarter Pounder like a peasant. Life isn't fair. We know this.
However, my cousin Steve has figured out a way to beat the system.
He's gotten his hands dirty and experimented so we don't have to. He has perfected the DIY McRib!
