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.

Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousand of miles and all the years you have lived.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.

To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.
