Yes, you do have to be aware of possible fallout. If you DO name somebody publicly, you better have all your facts and be able to prove them. The last thing you want is to be brought to court on some libel suit. These can be very expensive. Imagine blasting somebody for not finishing a job on time and it turns out his wife had a baby that day. Forgetting everything else, that just turns into very bad PR for you.
Weather is often a factor in many car insurance claims. One really bad winter's day with snow and ice about, a motorist tried to get his car going but found even his driveway was too slippery. He left his almost new car where it was and called a cab. The taxi duly arrived, swung into the driveway, skidded on the ice and crashed into the parked car. It was one of these days.
Have you ever been driving down the road and had the strong hunch to slow down? Suddenly, you see a police car who could have caught you speeding if you had not listened to that gut feeling. Or perhaps you got the hunch to speed up or change lanes. Then you see something that lets you know that if you had not done so, you would have been part of a multi-car pile-up or a wreck of some kind.
They're risk-takers, but they're experienced risk takers, and know that stunt driving should be left to the professionals. This is a talkative group, and they should consider putting their cell phone down and just driving.
Point is, when it's something personal or minor, you have to sit back and think about your own reputation and how people will view you as somebody that THEY want to work with. or not. I mean imagine if all you ever did was complain about how this person didn't do this for you and that person was late with this and this other person never responded to me quick enough. Do you think people will want to work with you? Let me put it this way. If I saw that all you ever did was complain about other people, I'd have to think long and hard about whether or not I wanted to do business with you.
The snowstorm has created slick driving conditions. On Highway 169, just a little southwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota, there was a 70 traffic pile up. There are two people seriously injured from this accident and many others with minor injuries. Iowa has had six deaths due to slippery road conditions. One incident happened when a mother driving a minivan with her two kids collided with another minivan in the south-central part of Iowa.
Geminis are the original multi-taskers. They can eat, drink, read the newspaper, shave, or apply make-up all while driving, although this is NOT recommended, even if you're a Gemini. It's the sign of the twins; while one is driving the other co-pilots.
Accessible from shore, this old wreck is a must-see. At a stunning 300 feet in length, this steam ship is older than the Titanic. The only downside to diving this wreck is that it rests in a harbor entrance. You'll need a guide for this one and Tours are available on Sundays.
