Helpful Winter Tips for Your Car in St. Louis, MO

Keep headlights clear with car wax. Apply regular car wax to the headlights. The wax contains water repellents preventing the messy winter mixture from building up on your lights. This should lasts 6 weeks.

Ice-proof car windows with household vinegar. If frost is on the way, fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water and spray the soloution on all your windows the night before. In the morning, they will be clear. Vinegar has acetic acid in it. This acid prevents the water from freezing!

Car doors sticking shut? Prevent the problem with cooking spray. Spray the canned cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors then rub with a paper towel. The cooking spray keeps the water from melting into the rubber.

De-ice your door locks with hand sanitizer. Apply the gel to the key and the lock. Now the problem is solved.

Squeaky wipers? Apply rubbing alcohol or ammonia to the wipers with a cloth or paper towel. Now your streaking and squeaking wipers transform to nearly perfect clarity and quite.

As always, be careful on the road in St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas.

St. Louis Missouri Home Owners...Tax Bills are in the Mail

St. Louis Missouri Home Owners...Tax Bills are in the Mail



Yes, St. Louis Missouri, the real estate tax bills are in the mail and most of you are not going to be happy about the amount due. While property values have dropped about 9%, the amount due for your real estate tax is actually going up. One might ask why or how. It is due to the school districts. Yes, most of the districts have lost money so they have opted to raise the rates charged to home owners.



Shouldn't they have to budget and cut back like the rest of us? Or does the education system not have to be financially responsible? What does this teach our children? Does the school district have a blank check?


How do you feel about a tax increase when values are decreasing?
