TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Falling Rocks

Rick Danforth / October 11, 2024

I have seen many FALLING ROCKS signs during my travels. Although I’ve never seen any rocks falling as I drove by, I know it happens because they are lying by the roadside.

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Crossroad

Rick Danforth / September 27, 2024

There have been many times in my life when I was not sure of what direction to take.

Rick Danforth / August 2, 2024

My journey to a healthier lifestyle needs to be a sensible one. It is difficult at times to follow the SAFETY FIRST credo and stay within my SPEED LIMIT. I need to consider all the ALTERNATE ROUTES, avoid getting stuck in a ROUNDABOUT, and find the right INFORMATION. It is helpful that TOPS provides a CROSSWALK to serve as a…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Roundabout

Rick Danforth / July 19, 2024

There were times during my journey towards a healthier lifestyle when I was just cycling and recycling. Going round and round, trying to find an exit. So, you can imagine when I see a ROUNDABOUT sign, I get a little queasy. There are times when I see one that I just want to DRIVE THRU. However, I have learned much…
