"Saline Cars & Coffee" at Brewed Awakenings

Saline Michigan Is a Place That Gets “Car People” (Year Round, as It Turns Out)

April 23, 2018

There are people who drive cars, and there are car people. Two weeks ago today during a very well attended SAE WCX World Congress Experience presentation at Cobo Center in Detroit, Alex Roy attempted to explain the difference to his audience. [1,2,3,4,5] What we drive says who we are, what people think of us …. In the past, we were ‘one with the machine.’ The future would have us be ‘none with the machine.’ Attendees ....

Amazingly, initiatives here are being led by two names that have been familiar for decades. One is DTE ....

It Is Truly Amazing To Consider How Much Goes Into Making So Many Christmas Celebrations Merry, And To Share In That

December 25, 2018

According to the Pew Research Center, nine out of ten Americans say they celebrate Christmas. How they do so and what that means to each person individually is a different matter. [1] Curiously, the usually reliable and authoritative History site appears to have struggled with the “History of Christmas” as a subject matter. Awkwardly balancing recitation of origin stories, structured prose closed with a section dedicated to the Charles Dickens “classic holiday tale, A Christmas ....
