When it comes to your car, you should always have gas
By Greg Marsh on May 10, 2011 at 11:30 AM
I’ve run out of gas plenty of times. It’s no big deal. I just walk to the garage, grab the gas can, refill the tank on the mower and get back to work. However, running out of gas in one’s car or truck presents more of a problem. Not only could it strand you many [...]

Memory of the Month: One of these things is not like the others
By Greg Marsh on February 16, 2011 at 3:25 PM
This photo was taken at a company outing in the 1940s; clearly a celebration of some sort. That’s GEICO Founder Leo Goodwin standing tall and looking serious in the middle.

By Greg Marsh on December 30, 2010 at 3:11 PM
Well, it’s New Year’s resolution time again. Whatever shall I resolve to do in 2011?
