BFD on KFI Follow-up
Topics/Reference Source Section
Okay...so you were doing the right thing and
keeping both hands on your steering wheel instead of reaching over
to write something semi-intelligent down that you might have heard
on the radio show. Bravo for you! [And one
less mess for the CHP to attend to!]
So here’s what I’ve tried to do to help you after
the show. This special section briefly highlights and outlines
all of the key topics covered. If you don’t see one you heard
about, try using the POWER
SEARCH function to check out the entire site; it could
already be represented somewhere else on this site.
All else fails? AFTER
you’ve scrolled through these topics listed below, and AFTER
you’ve completed your POWER
SEARCH on this website, then e-mail me and I’ll see
what I can find for you. Deal?
