Favorite Road Hero

The Road Connection is very serious about their "Favorite Road Hero" contest.  The grand prize is now an iPad2.  There are 2nd and 3rd prizes too and the contest is open to anyone that has concern for our roads.  I've thought about sending my photo in, but I'd rather one of my virtual friends be the big winner! 

If anything, this contest is too easy.  Take a picture of a friend or co-worker, upload it to The Road Connection's facebook  Road Hero page, and wait to see who wins on June 15, 2012.  (Read the rules via this link.)  

This is a contest that applies to an incredible amount of folks.  There are no hoops to jump through, no marathons to run, and no unusual skills required.  As I sit and type this I am wracking my brain to think of friends and their occupations.  Truck drivers, school bus drivers, mothers, police officers, construction workers, local news teams, hospital workers, teachers ~ I think the ultimate prize is that our roads are safe.

Thanks to The Road Connection for their concern and a special thanks to their sponsors, KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens, BedRug, TruXedo  Navman wireless, Liebherr, and Performance Marketing.  These businesses, large and small, along with other partners are making our world a better place.

The Test of Going Lean

I don't think I'm alone when I say that I do not like tests.

Our updated web site has been a test.  For that matter, my smart phone was a test today too!   Who made the decision to alphabetize all of my listings by the first name?  Every time I call Grandma I have to apologize to Gina for dialing the wrong number.  My fingers are too fat.  

Anyway, today's blog is a test run.  If you'd like to visit our updated site we'd be happy to have you visit.  This matters is one of our new pages that has a fast, easy lesson about lean management.  Going lean may seem like  a test, but we all agree that if we go lean we'll save money.
