Over months and years, the US stock indexes have generally always shown gains - even while individual stocks might be winners or losers.

Motorcycle accidents are incredibly serious and often result in injuries that can affect riders and their passengers for years to come, sometimes even changing their lives permanently.

Years ago, I bought a new car at the dealership and they suckered me into buying their “protective coating” that would help the car stay clean and help protect from nicks and scratches. That coating cost me hundreds of dollars and frankly … I’m not sure it did anything. Flash forward a few years and the folks at AvalonKing sent me their Armor Shield IX DIY Kit to try out.

I always have a roll in my bug-out bag that I bring with me on the trail for off road trips, in the car along with emergency supplies for a road trip, and of course when I go out fishing too.

In a car on the highway though you are forced to be together for hours at a time with no option to simply open the door and leave. This means that things like personal habits, scents, conversational skills and even safety issues can suddenly become an important issue. Done right though, a road trip is one of my favorite romantic getaways. This is a shared experience that the two of you can treasure forever.
