Stay Cool, Drive Safe

A few people around the station give me a good-natured hard time about my sign-off that I developed over the years.
At the end of my newscasts, I typically say, "stay cool, (and) drive safe."

As for the grammatic virtue, don't get me started there. I know it aint right.

But for signatures, it works well, especially for FOX.

But I started saying it one night, after I heard the great Bob Juback give his customary Bike Week sign off of: "drive safely, and watch out for bikers."

I thought, we do so many stories about heinous acts of driving, and it's so darn hot out, why not help people to take it easy?

Tom Kinard, Florence's dean of the morning radio airwaves, once told me, "I like you say that 'stay cool and drive safe' bit, even if its 35 degrees out!"

"Stay cool" works even in the coolest Carolina weather.

Think about it.

I am going to stick with it, for now, to see how long I feel good about it.

That's all for now.

Stay cool.
Drive safe.
