As you're heading out for a celebration of America this weekend, be sure to do so with both eyes on the road, and clear-eyed at that. Many people fall into the trap of back-yard BBQ and a handful of beers, thinking "the sun will knock out the alcohol." Not very scientific, and potentially deadly-dangerous. There's a time and a place for everything, but the road is never the place for drinking. Neither is the Bridge when I'm steering, but I usually let the First Mate handle that duty, so I can catch up on Sportscenter and Oprah. Well, Sportscenter anyway.
So let's review: Keep both eyes on the road. Keep one eye on the other drivers, who may not have heeded the warning. Keep another eye on your kids. Keep yet another eye open for a Wendy's (those new Asian boneless wings are the DEAL!), and if you still have any more eyes available, watch whatever you feel like. Have a safe weekend and enjoy your local fireworks from a safe distance.
