Dawn Watson's Just Sayin’ Keep on Truckin’

 

Dawn Watson | CNBnews Contributor

     

 
I am a trucker.

 

   My spiffy little Hyundai Accent could not pull the trailer I bought, so I sold her and bought a used truck. The Accent was named Katniss. The truck is Ragnar. I’ve become a different person.

 

   I drove Ragnar home from Philly. There was traffic. I was surprised at how easy he was to handle. Cars honked at me. I honked back. The sound of the horn was deep and resonant. Powerful. Definitely not a Katniss-sounding horn.

It's not the fries or Big Macs that are so special — McDonald's is known for its strict quality control and uniformity of its food — but the sign itself.

Dawn Watson's Pet Tip of the Week: Guarding Behavior

 

Dawn Watson | CNBNewsnet

  

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ (October 27, 2018)(CNBNewsnet)--A friend of mine was walking her dog the other day and suddenly, her dog began barking and lunging at a stranger who was coming from the other direction. They were new to the area and previously, the dog had not shown any such tendencies. My friend was puzzled at her usually-calm dog’s behavior so I explained my opinion on the topic.

  

Molly (the dog) lived in a suburban setting with few neighbors before moving to the city. She was accustomed to the relative quiet of her former neighborhood. Due to a sad family situation she moved miles away with one of her owners (the other owner passed away, suddenly).

Vaping Is Really Popular in South Jersey. Here’s Why.

  

SOUTH JERSEY (CNBNewsnet)(August 31, 2018)--A few years ago, many believed that vaping would become a one-time trend that would go away as quickly as it came in-style. Fast forward a few years, and vaping is an even bigger hobby and pastime activity than ever before. The industry behind vaping is growing too, and that growth is apparent when you see the wealth of vaping gadgets you can now choose from.

Vaping is particularly popular in South Jersey. Recent studies suggest that more people are taking up vaping as a hobby simply because it is enjoyable. Newer vaporizers and the many flavors of vape juice available today certainly enhance the vaping experience to a new level. There are reasons why vaping is becoming increasingly popular, even today.

Easy to Try

In the early days of vaping, you were stuck with vaporizers designed to look like tobacco cigarettes. The kits didn’t produce that much vapor and the whole experience was more cumbersome than enjoyable. A lot of people didn’t even consider vaping as a hobby because of this.

Today, however, vaping is a trendy thing. Starter kits are designed to be more capable and stylish at the same time. The modern pod system is even more convenient to use, mainly because the devices are compact and very easy to operate.

Choosing a good kit to try is just as easy. Retailers like Blazed Vapes now offer extensive catalogs of starter kits, mods, atomizers, and vape juice flavors to try. You can rely on reviews, articles, forum posts, and YouTube videos to help you pick the right starter kit to buy too.
