Apparently my title “Jake’s Justice” is not a good idea
since there are at least two others out there and may lead to confusion about
my novel. The other two have nothing to do with Jake McTavish looking for
justice for the rape and murder of his wife. Nor do they appear to be located
in the North West Territories
More info to follow, such as what the title will be.
I’ve also been working on another new one, same local and
era as Jake’s story and, so far, I’m calling that one “Cattle Business.”
A couple of ideas for a cover:
There is seldom a day goes by that I am not cut off by
someone as I’m rolling along with a load of Diesel fuel or gasoline; certainly
not less than once a week. Therefore I’m posting something I believe important
for the health and welfare of all.
Semi-truck driver, Eric
Boling Bracey, posted what he labeled as a public service
announcement to his Facebook page.
His objective: To show people how difficult it is to stop
a semi-truck and what fellow drivers on the road should or should not do when
they encounter a large tractor-trailer.
According to Bracey, it takes 414 feet of road for a 10
foot, 44,000 pound semi-truck to come to a complete stop when traveling at 60
miles per hour.
“I’m telling you this so that the next
time you’re on the road, on the express way, and you see a truck, don’t pull in
front of it and hit your breaks. Because you could die.” Eric explains. “And I
would have to live with the fact that I killed somebody.”
Eric also suggests that when a driver is coming off an
exit ramp and a semi-truck is coming down the far right lane, either hit the
gas or hit the brakes because a truck can’t move, but “you can.”
Remembering these important tips on the road will make
the highways and byways safer places for cars and trucks alike.
