Highland high

My mother-in-law turned 80 last week, and when we asked her how she wanted to celebrate, she said "I want to go flying with Sunny again" (the last time was 5 years ago). So once again I put her at great risk driving her around the Beltway, Rt. 50, the Bay Bridge and so on in order to deliv...

(Choking & sputtering on corn dog) sorry, just a feeble attempt at levity. Any such warning/reminder device would soon be ignored or discarded anyway. Nobody pays any attention to their seatbelt warning lamp as it is. For most, buckling-up has become second nature. I guess the trick is to make a...
