Regarding the story about women having better parking skills than men, I have to say that this didn’t apply to my mother’s parking skills, I’ll never forget back when I was a teen doing the weekly shopping, when she saw an open spot, she started about in the middle of the street inching towards the spot, then this little Volkswagen just pulled in the spot, took all of five seconds if that long, I still break up laughing when I think about.

And as I always say when you feature a story with dogs/puppies, cute, cute, cute .

    Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this Monday evening as always. Looking forward to Rock Center tonight.

    First of all the report by Mr.Potter about the terrible pile up of around 20 cars and trucks on I-75 in Florida. The crashes caused by thick smoke and fog from a brush fire showed some horrible accidents since driver's visibility was so awful. Seeing the wrecks of cars and tractor trailers along with hearing the 911 calls proved this stretch of highway should not have be re-opened. The accounts by other people driving and learning how rescue workers had to cut away the vehicle to get the passengers out was horrible and heartwrenching. So tragic the loss of 10 people and 18 injured. It is something that really could have been prevented and then also if the fire was deliberately set is even worse. Time will tell as the investigation goes onward.

    The report by Mr.Mohyeldin showed how the government forces are continuing to crackdown on protestors in Syria with no sign of President Bashar Assad stepping down . Such an extremely dangerous situation with the Arab League pulling out as the United Nations might ask Assad to step down. A tense situation in many ways.

    The report by Mr.Cantore showed how winters has still not made a major mark in the nation with high temperatures in many States. So many areas of the country with above average temperatures, yet the prediction may tell of winter weather temperatures coming in February.

    Sad to learn of the passing of Medal of Honor recipient John F. Baker Jr. who fought in Vietnam. Truly a hero who saved many of his fellow soldiers in combat.

    The "Making A Difference" segment by Chelsea Clinton about WW II Veteran Irwin Stovroff who is now helping Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans with his organization "Vets Helping Heroes" was very moving. These trained service dogs are truly helping these returning Veterans deal with day to day living and constant support. It is wonderful to see how these dogs have improved the lives of these returning Veterans. Nice Piece!

    Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

    Be Well Everyone!

    Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

    Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

      i was talking to my sis about my poor neighbors down the street who used to clean my parents' home before they passed and she said to me that maybe she should clean out her closets and bring those clothes down for them. she made good on her word and when i was talking to the mom the other day she said that she commented to her daughter that with the clothes that i had brought over, they could get dressed with fresh clothes every day now . . . . . of course, that's her, mothers being what they are, her daughter had a change of clothes for every day, my clothes fit the daughter, my sis' fit her mom. and i am typing on the macbook that my sister sent out from sonoma, it used to belong to my nephew:-) best, anna martina
