I’m off today through Monday for the 4th of July holiday weekend.  Going to be spending some time with my family!  I hope all of you get a chance to enjoy the beautiful weekend and spend sometime outdoors as well!  Happy Independence Day! 

Here are a few tidbits of information I wanted to leave you with for this holiday weekend:

• Please remember that your pets may not appreciate fireworks as much as you do.  Keep these tips in mind when planning your firework fun! 
• “Fourth of July fireworks unleash a shower of toxins into the soil and water, and scientists are only beginning to figure out what that means for human health.” – Mother Nature Network.   But whether you are already planning to attend a local fireworks show or if you are looking for a more eco-friendly way to celebrate, please take a moment to read their blog.  It has quite of bit of good information.
• Before you leave for your holiday, ensure your car is tuned up, fluids checked, tires properly inflated and of course it’s always helpful to use a good fuel additive.  Each of these steps can help you save money and get better fuel economy…always a good thing.
• Last but not least, drive safe!  If you are planning on drinking, don’t drive.  AAA offers So Cal members a “Tipsy Tow” service for the vehicle and driver for up to 7 miles.   The service starts tonight at 6pm and goes until midnight on July 4th.

Have a safe and happy holiday!
