Lindsay Jensen, Insurance Agent

11/02/2021

G'day everyone,

I appreciate the support and interest shown by so many of you during the past 12 months. After much prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided to take advantage of an opportunity to return to university full-time to pursue a degree. Unfortunately, this means I am resigning from my position as an insurance agent and will no longer be able to directly create policies.

However, if you have questions or would like advice about your insurance policies, I am happy to help offer any insights I can. My offer to assist in a review of coverage for your home and auto is still in play, so please send me a message if you would like some advice.

Cheers to all,
Lindsay Jensen

Today's fun fact about Australia is an easy, but often little-realized one. Australia is a very large country! People often underestimate its size because, being an island nation, there are no immediate neighboring countries to compare it to. For your reference, here's an image of Australia superimposed on an image of the United States.

The United States is the 4th largest country in the world by landmass, while Australia is the 6th largest. However, despite being relatively close in size, the US has an estimated 329.5 million residents, where Australia only has about 25.7 million residents.

As always, if you are interested in a no-pressure personalized insurance quote for your home, auto, or business, feel free to contact me via phone, Facebook Messenger, or in person.

Have you ever worried about what would happen if you were in a car accident and the other person was at fault, but they had no insurance? Unfortunately, this is a very common scenario. Many drivers are uninsured or under-insured to cover the costs of damages they inflict.

An umbrella policy is an optional, add-on coverage that can protect you from uninsured or underinsured drivers, as well as providing coverage for several other scenarios. Most umbrella policies are reasonably priced and easy to add to your existing coverage or to a new policy.

If you want to make sure you have the best protection possible for you, your family, and your property, I would be honored to review your coverage and find a competitive rate for what you need. Send me a message, give me a call, or just stop by the next time you are in Oak Hill. I'll be ready and waiting to help!

This looks like photoshop, but it's not! Due to a unique combination of native aquatic life and salinity, Australia has several naturally pink-hued lakes. The most famous, Lake Hillier, is especially striking when viewed by air due to its close proximity to the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

When you say "Australia," most people picture beaches, deserts, or possibly tropical rainforest regions. However, did you know that Australia also has multiple mountain ranges? In fact, the Australian Alps mountain range actually receives MORE snow every year than the Swiss Alps, making these mountains a very popular vacation destination for ski and snowboarding enthusiasts.

As ever, if you are interested in getting a no-pressure quote on insurance for your car, home, or business, please feel free to contact me. I would love the chance to see if I can save you some money!

Are you enjoying the summer heat and humidity as much as these two?

While it's great to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather when you choose, most of us like to escape to the air-conditioned comfort of our homes when we're done with the heat. That's why it's so tough when something happens to your AC unit in the middle of a heat wave!

Did you know that your homeowner's policy can cover repairs or replacement for your AC unit in certain circumstances? Not every policy offers that coverage, however! If you want to have a look at your policy together and see if your mechanical home equipment is covered and when coverage can be used, just let me know.

Time for another fun fact about Australia. Did you know that Australia has claim to more of Antarctica's land than any other country? Argentina, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom also own pieces of the Antarctic continent.

That being said, I don't think many of us sun-loving Aussies are going to start moving there in droves any time soon!

As everyone enjoys the summer heat, here's a tip about the air conditioning in your car that may be helpful to you when you're driving on those long vacation road trips (or just back and forth from work to home). Have you heard this advice about your car's AC before?

Useful tip from Tyrrell Auto Centers: Most all vehicles have a recirculation button with the AC controls in their cars. But many of us are unsure when to use it.

Well, the easy answer is to use it in the summer and turn it off in the winter.

The recirculation button simply takes the air from inside the car and recirculates it in the cabin instead of pulling fresh air from outside. On days like today when it is miserably hot outside, if you do not recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, then your AC system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it. Using the recirculation feature will get your car cooler and will decrease the wear and tear on your AC system.
- Side note, if your car has been baking in the sun, its better to roll the windows down and turn recirculate off for the first minute or so to get rid of the super hot air inside the car before turning the recirculate on.

Also, any time you are stuck in traffic ( summer or winter) be sure to use the recirculate. If you are pulling air from outside, then you are pulling in all the pollutants and carbon monoxide from all the traffic. Studies show that recirculating your AC can cut down on the pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when stuck in traffic!

Sometimes it takes a while to learn a new skill. This was my little girl Sylvana, two years ago. My wife was recording her as she tried to learn how to sit up on her own. As you can see, she didn't quite get the hang of it right away, but she laughed it off. It wasn't long after this, though, that she started sitting on her own like a champion.

If there's something you're struggling to master this week, I hope you're able to overcome that obstacle and learn your new skill soon, just like Sylvana did. Have a great weekend, everyone.
