AARP DRIVER SAFETY TIP
Driving in the Rain Even during the day, turn on low-beam headlights to help others see you.
Road conditions can be more slick at the beginning of a rainfall when road dust and oil mix with water.
Reduce speed and increase following distance.
Do not drive faster than the windshield wipers can clear water from the windshield. Make sure wiper blades are in good shape. It’s a good habit to replace them once a year.
Driving too fast on wet roadways can cause hydroplaning.

Eat locally; save energy -
the community’s economy. It’s also an energy saver.

When you patronize local farmer’s markets and produce stands, you forego the food sold in grocery stores, which ship in much of their fare from out of town. The more traveling your bananas, bread and beef have to do before you buy it, the more greenhouse emissions they contribute to the environment.
t’s a no-brainer that buying fresh fruit, produce, milk and meat from local farmers helps
In fact, some estimate that between 5 percent and 20 percent of the energy spent in the production of food is for transporting it—sometimes as much as 1,500 miles from where it was grown—to your local grocer.
So do yourself a favor by enjoying fresh, flavorful, locally grown food. Do your neighbors a good turn by buying from the food producers in your own community, or at least who
grow within a 100-mile radius. And do your small part for the environment by choosing your chow from the many locals who can deliver it to you with a far smaller carbon footprint than stores that import it from far away.
WAKE UPwith a little lemon S
tart your morning off right with a glass of water and some fresh lemon juice squeezed into it. Lemon juice is an antioxidant, and also a good source of calcium, potassium, and vitamin C. In addition, it may give your immune system a boost and help with
digestion throughout the day.
If you do squeeze a fresh lemon (as opposed to getting juice from a bottle), be sure to wash it thoroughly ahead of time to clean off any dirt or bacteria that may drift into the juice.
