If you’re driving along the east coast today, please be extra careful. The Weather Channel warns of “Damaging straight-line winds, some tornadoes” during the day. Later tonight, they warn that “The squall line continues to march east from the Mid-Atlantic States into eastern Georgia, perhaps north Florida. Strong, damaging wind threat may extend as far north as southern New York, southern New England late, not necessarily associated with thunderstorms.”

Introducing Bruce Agee …

Six-and-a-half years ago, when Bruce Agee first became a professional driver, he was struggling (like so many drivers do) to balance hometime and a good income. We are so happy that Bruce decided Boyd Bros. offered everything he needed, including our Lease Purchase Program, which Bruce completed in July.

"Boyd understands that they succeed when you do,” he says. “So they do whatever they can to help you. They make the program easy to complete and come out ahead. It only took me three years to finish."

The engaged father of two typically runs up and down the East Coast, making it easy to get to his home in Richmond, Virginia. Unless he sees a load he just can’t pass up, he gets home every weekend, and he loves to take his family to the beach whenever he can. Bruce also likes to spend time working on cars or computers and playing with his kids.

Since 1956, Boyd Bros. has been partnering with the best drivers in the business. Call us today at 800-543-8923!

Ken Jennings (the 74-time Jeopardy winner) has written a book about classic parental cliche's: breakfast is the most important meal of the day; don’t sit so close to the TV; don’t swim right after you eat … you get the idea.

You may have heard many of these American “momisms” (such as the myth that poinsettias are poisonous), but the ones from other cultures are really interesting, too. Did you know that many Koreans will only use electric fans if a window is cracked, because leaving a fan on in an enclosed room, it’s almost universally believed, can be fatal. In Russia, some believe that if you clip your fingernails while your relatives are flying somewhere, their plane will crash!

Wherever you’re driving today, please be safe!

Many of you may have a program called Java on your computers. Java is both a language and a platform to run websites and programs, both on the PC and Mac operating systems.

You may have recently seen some of the extensive news coverage, including statements from the United States Department of Homeland Security, regarding a vulnerability in Java that leaves millions of computers open to malware attacks and can lure online traffic to virus-infected websites.

We got this notice from Norton, but there are many good security programs on the market. Be sure to update yours to include security against the Java bug (CVE-2013-0422).

It’s also recommended that you click through and apply Oracle’s recently released security patch and make sure you are running the most updated version of Java.

Happy computing!

It's been a few days since we last posted. Did anyone find the answer to our last post? It's "therein".

Let’s give our brains a little exercise as we head into the weekend! Can you guess a seven-letter English word that contains nine other words without rearranging any of its letters?

We’ll post the answer later … after you’ve had a chance to show how smart you are!
