Driver Obedience

by Travis Miller OK, this seems obvious to me, but I’m going to point it out anyway. I live on a street down which people incessantly speed. It’s 25 mph, but it’s no rare sight to see someone going 45-50 right in front of my house. Drives me nuts. Why does it happen here?

by Travis Miller This weekend I had the pleasure of being “downsold” twice in one day. Let me explain. First, I went into Franklin-Covey to get some new planning material for 2008. The bill was $130. The guy and the girl proceed to explain to me that if I buy some extra item I would get a discount.

The bundle wasn’t really an appropriate option for me. It just so happened [...]
