TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Slow

Rick Danforth / November 22, 2024

There is no real order to how all these signs need to be lined up and no sign is more important than another. However, I was surprised that I have not yet refracted about the SLOW sign. Seeing a DANGER AHEAD sign, I automatically adjust my SPEED LIMIT so there is no need to put a SLOW sign in the…

TOPS HEALTHY LIFESTYLE: FOLLOW THE SIGNS – WEIGHT LIMIT

Rick Danforth / November 8, 2024

I see signs that provide INFORMATION on capacity limits for various things. There are WEIGHT LIMIT warnings on bridges, roads, elevators and shelving units. I admit that some of them I do not pay much attention to. For instance, shelving seems important, and I do not drive anything that heavy. However, I will admit that when I am in a…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – School Zone

Rick Danforth / October 25, 2024

Realizing that SAFETY FIRST is so important, it is not surprising that violating the next sign may cause some significant issues.  We all know that when approaching a SCHOOL ZONE sign, we are to go slow and follow the SPEED LIMIT. This is to protect the children attending school. This knowledge was part of the education process we participated in…

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. I firmly admit to the fact that I am “directionally challenged.” Asking for directions was never easy, I always felt I could just figure it out. The “I will just figure it out” attitude has not always served me well. If I…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Share the Road

Rick Danforth / September 13, 2024

Have you ever taken a long journey that felt like you’d never reach your destination? Then, later, you repeat the same trip, this time with someone by your side, and suddenly it seems much shorter. It was the same distance, just a different observation and experience.  Seeing a SHARE THE ROAD sign while traveling makes me aware that other modes…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Rest Area

Rick Danforth / August 30, 2024

Not all journeys are a quick trip. At times, after passing many MILE MARKER signs, I find it is necessary to STOP. Pulling over to find a washroom, to get food and water, or just relax a bit before I continue on. So, on a long journey, I keep a sharp eye out for a REST AREA sign. These signs…
