January 20: ??Patricia Feager ???Life is Good-Giving Back.
I love the water and fishing even more. ?I learned from Patricia that impacting our environment isn?t just done by those who litter or pollute with chemicals. ?Just touching the water, placing things in it that aren?t natural to it can affect the water. ?I?m thinking of all of those plastic worms and strange looking lures we?ve used. ?Please read what Patricia is doing to help.

January 21: ??Jeanne Kozak ???Do You Know What the Sticker on Your Produce Tells You?

January 26: Frank Laisch ??The Safest Way to Drive Your Pet Around.
Please read Frank?s post about the best way to chauffeur your pets around. ?I was unaware that forcing cold air into their lungs could cause illnesses. ?I?ve had 2 dogs that became blind as a result of an autoimmune disease but all of the vets I consulted (yes, doogie opthamologist as well as a doggie neurologist) said that we shouldn?t let our pets ride with their heads out of the window. ?
