Driving Notes

We kicked off the week with a Mystery Monday question about rules: 57% of people said in a recent survey that they would NEVER break this rule. Sally from Mount Vernon was our first caller and correctly guessed that the answer was using the express checkout with more than 10 items.

Our word of the day was gadabout, a “social butterfly” who goes from place to place for different social activities. You can read more about that here.

We also talked about On The Road with Big Blue, which will kick off this weekend for Summer 2015. We’ll be at the Utica Ice Cream Festival and Parade this Saturday, May 23, and then we’ll be in the Mount Vernon Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 25. You can head over to wnzr.fm for more information on both of those events.

Have a great week and come see our Big Blue Crew in action this weekend!

Today we talked about how you can use rubbermaid bins to plant small flowers and herbs. Tomatoes are also simple to grown out of a hanging pot on your porch. You can really utilize your window space by planting small things in the window inside or out!
