Easy Way to Help Second Harvest

Tonight is the culmination of the Triad Apartment Association's (TAA) food drive for Second Harvest.  The goal is to raise 50,000 cans and we can use all the help we can get, so if you have some food you'd like to donate just swing by the Embassy Suites near PTI (right off of I-40) between 5-8 p.m.  Second Harvest will have a truck there so all you'll have to do is pull up and let the TAA volunteers load it up for you.

This morning Dale Holder, this year's chair of the food drive committee, was on WXII to talk about the campaign.  Here's a link to the video.

Here's the Embassy Suites location:

Teh Stupid: DWI on a Motorcycle

As dumb as it is to drive drunk, how much dumber is it to drive drunk on a motorcycle?  You'd think that no matter how drunk you were you'd at least have some basic survival instict triggering alarm bells in your head.  You know, something like: "Daggum I'm hammered. Maybe getting on the road and traveling at speeds that God never intended for human beings, and NOT being surrounded by a ton of metal and airbags ain't the best idea."  The good news is that drunks this stupid likely will do the most damage to themselves and the people dumb enough to ride with them, while the "smarter" drunks tend to take out their stupidity on the rest of us.
