Saved by the Buzz

Everybody knows the term of how the boxer is lossing the fight and almost down for the count when the bell rings to save the moment. Then actually he rises to be the big winner. Interesting how one alarm can change the lives of so many. Only this time the alarm was a buzz.

Me and my girlfriend met after work and for a "burger and fries". That was all we ordered, "yeah right". But we talked for who knows how long in the parking lot. What could girls talk about that long? It was only a littly past 9 pm but we had almost an hour drive ahead of us.

As we pulled out of the parking lot and made our way to the entrance ramp of the highway, I realized that my friend was being hit by the long hours. The trip she made so very many times over the years were during the day and now the darkness was not helping. I know it was affecting me so it must have been affecting her as well.

I grabbed for the pouch hanging from the rear view mirror. And took out The Alert Master. We had been playing with the vibration alarm early and now I realized what it was made for. "This time put this behind your ear" I mentioned. "Oh, that was a nice gift from my sister" she replied. I just gave her a look and stuck out my hand. She got the message and 5 seconds later it was comfortably placed behind her ear.

During our converstion I could faintly her the buzz on the alarm go off occassionaly during the quite spots. It was clear that it was helping. The long dark highway soon joined my exhaustion and I fell asleep.

The next thing I new was her voice "we are at your home, you can go sleep in your bed now". It felt like a two minute sleep but it was an hour. After the hug good night and I opened the door to follow her instructions. She thanked me "I am so glad you made me put this on,.....I do not know where we would be right now if I did not"

Now many hours later, I replay that sentence with its tone. Sort of like speaking for all those people who did not arrive home safe because of driving sleepy. The person behind the wheel. the passengers in the car and others. So many lives have been lost because of a natural phenomina of being tired behind the wheel. And it is so easily prevented.

Thank G-D, me and my friend arrived home safely. Make sure your family and friends do too!
We like both the buzz ear or the alert master models because they have a smooth comfortable design and a storage pouch that makes it easy to find. You can choose
