Teen Survival Driving Academy in College Station at Texas World Speedway!
July 23rd, 2009 Categories: Community Events
Did you know…. 
- As a driver, you will make more decisions in one mile than a 747 captain does flying across country.
- Automobile crashes are responsible for more teen fatalities than alcohol, drugs and violence COMBINED.
August 16th I am sending my daughter to the Texas World Speedway Teen Survival Driving Academy in College Station.
No- she is not a bad driver. She is just a teen driver. The TWS TSDA (Texas World Speedway Teen Survival Driving Academy) is NOT a racing school! It is designed “to place students in real world scenarios and show them how to take control and avoid dangerous situations. They will work on collision avoidance and car control skills. Now that I think about it, I know a few adults (myself included) that should probably attend…
The Academy recreates dangerous situations and teaches (in a controlled environment) how to take control of the situations and make life saving decisions.
This is a 4 hour couse which includes classroom and hands on driving activities. With the instructor, the student is given tools to avoid an accident. Students are encouraged to bring their own vehicle that they will be driving on a regular basis. The activities are done at a low speed and should not hurt the car. If you don’t want to use your own car, one can be provided.
Parents are encouraged to attend the 4 hour course too!!!
So, get your teenager registered and join us. And come back to this blog again to see the photos and videos of the event. I bet we can all learn something together.

Selling a home in Bryan or College Station
, Texas or other location in the Brazos Valley is heavily dependant on pricing your home properly and picking an agent that will create an “online market presence” for your home.

We are no longer in a strong seller’s market.

College Station Water - Where Does It Come From?
July 3rd, 2009 Categories: Buying Real Estate
Do you ever wonder where the College Station water you drink comes from?
College Station’s water is ground water from deep wells in Simsboro Sand about 3,000 feet down. The water is pumped from the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer.
Is the water hot or cold when it comes up? Would you believe that the temperature for the water is 118 degrees Fahrenheit? The cooling towers at the Sandy Point Pump Station help reduce the temperature down to 85 degrees.
From the Sandy Point Pump Station the water travels about 13 miles to the Dowling Road Pump Station. At this Pump Station chlorine is added to disinfect and have fluoride added. The storage tanks at Dowling Road hold about 8 million Read the rest of this entry »
