Don't Drink and Drive

December is a merry month for all of us. We have family gatherings and plenty of parties to attend.
With all this merrymaking come dangers. Many of us have a drink or two at holiday parties. But others really overdo things.
Moderate drinking isn't necessarily bad in and of itself. However, it can be deadly when mixed with driving. You certainly don't want to take that risk.
Other drivers aren't so considerate. They think nothing of getting behind the wheel after a few drinks.
So, the government has designated December National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month.
Today's Cool Site provides a wealth of information on drunk and drugged driving. You'll find links to statistics and sites to help prevent impaired driving.
You can also learn about state DUI laws. You'll even find links to services that help those with substance abuse problems.
I urge you to designate a driver if you're planning to drink. And keep taxi numbers handy for those who may need a ride.

Here is the LINK

Cool Site of the Day

It is mind-boggling to think about the diversity of life here on Earth. There are 1.8 million species known to scientists!
These species fall into several different categories, of course. For example, there are plants, animals, bacteria and viruses.

The Encyclopedia of Life has set an ambitious goal. It aims to provide information on all 1.8 million species.
As you would expect, the encyclopedia contains some strange and amazing species. You'll have fun browsing the pages. Or, get down to business by searching by name.

You'll find a fair amount of information on each species. There are also links to sites where you can learn more.
This site is fascinating. It's also a valuable asset for students and teachers. And, if you'd like to help with the site, you can. Just visit its Help Build EOL page for more information!
