A special poem in honor of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month:
Roses are red, violets are blue
Keep your eyes on the road, that's the golden rule.
No texting or tweeting, no checking your feed
Don't let distractions be the reason you speed.

With GPS in hand, don't fumble and fret
Follow the directions, don't get lost in regret.
No reaching for snacks, no sips from your cup,
Keep both hands on the wheel, don't reach for that pup.

So heed this advice, with a smile on your face
Drive without distractions, it isn't a race.
Stay alert, stay aware, keep your senses in tow
And your journeys will be safer, wherever you go!

Doing away with daylight savings time could significantly reduce one of the largest sources of human-caused mortality of wildlife.

University of Washington researchers found that adopting permanent daylight saving time in the United States would reduce deer-vehicle collisions and likely prevent an estimated 36,550 deer deaths, 33...
