The first unit at scene reported a tree down on power lines. Traffic was not affected and PG&E was called to assist. PUBLIC SAFETY TANGLED TREE Airtravelisnot what it used to be. Having flown 1.5 million miles in the past 20 years, I've seen things go from en- joyable to down- right challenging. I've had to learn a few lessons the hard way, but learn them I have. Be- cause of the things I've witnessed on airplanes, in airports, taxis, subways and hotels, I've gone from being a passive passenger to a purpose-driven trav- eler. My purpose is to ar- rive at my destination safe, healthy and happy. That's why I always travel with an assistant — a travel buddy. My buddy Nok-Out weighs just 4 ounces and travels in my handbag. Buddy is with me wher- ever I go. I have come to assume that my space on any air- plane is a germ pit, due to what I have observed over the years. I have seen peo- ple change dirty diapers on the pull-down tray ta- ble. I've seen sick children sneeze and smear all man- ner of bodily debris on the seat, armrests and table. I've seen people clip their toenails, gather up the bits and deposit them into the seat pocket. I've observed a seat mate using that throw-up bag for the pur- pose it was created, and then stuffing it back into the seat pocket. Do I have your attention yet? Gross, disgusting! I've learned to never assume that a plane is cleaned and sanitized between flights. Never. Because of these things I know to be true, here's my plane routine: 1. Lo- cate my seat. 2. Take Buddy from my handbag. 3. Quickly spray down all of my surfaces. 4. Take my seat and wait about 10 minutes to allow every- one around me to get into their seats and stow their luggage and for Nok-Out to fully engage. 5. Wipe all surfaces dry with the paper towel I bring with me. (I consider that pocket to be 100 percent off limits. I don't touch it, use it or any of the magazines in it.) Here are the sim- ple reasons I use Nok-Out and no other kind of antibacterial spray or wipes. I trust Nok-Out. I've done the research. Nok- Out is non-toxic. It is to- tally harmless to me and anyone sitting close by. It has no fumes, perfume or fragrance. You'd think I was spritzing water on my tray table. But it's not wa- ter. Nok-Out is powerful against all manner of bac- teria. It is antibiotic and antiviral. It kills H1N1, cold and flu viruses and MRSA. It is stable, which means it has a long shelf life. And it's liquid, so when I wipe it off, I can quickly remove boogies, smudges, smears and spills. I plan and program my- self in such a way as to avoid that airplane rest- room at all costs. How- ever, I am not always suc- cessful. You can be sure I bring Buddy with me. And trust me when I say that I leave that restroom in bet- ter condition than I found it. Everything gets a spritz of Nok-Out before I touch anything. On to the hotel. Re- searchers from the Univer- sity of Houston concluded from their study that tele- vision remotes in hotel rooms are one of the most heavily contaminated with bacteria, second only to the hotel housekeep- ing carts, which are veri- table cross-contaminating trolleys for germs. So you guessed it: The first thing I do when I walk into my hotel room is give that re- mote a nice disinfecting with Nok-Out. It's Buddy to the rescue. There have been trips when I've used the entire 4 ounces before arriving home. And no, I am not a nutcase. I'm informed about super-bugs, com- municable diseases and how they are transmitted. I choose to be proactive, which means I refill that bottle quite often. In all the years I have been traveling with my 4-ounce Buddy, I have not gotten sick on a trip. De- spite all of the quirky things that have hap- pened to me, I've eventu- ally arrived at my destina- tion, participated fully in the planned event and re- turned home safely and healthy. I believe that I owe my excellent travel health to Nok-Out and my willing- ness to keep my Buddy busy. Honestly, I won't travel without it. Wait, I won't live without it. That's how much I believe in and trust Nok-Out. Our friends at Nok-Out love it when I talk about how important it is in my life. To say thanks, for a limited time they're of- fering EC readers 15 per- cent off any purchase plus a FREE travel size 4-ounce bottle of Nok-Out with the coupon code: DPL at Nok- Out.com. Or if you prefer, pick up the phone and call 866-551-1927 toll free. Everybody needs a Buddy. *Even though my Buddy is clearly marked 4oz., I have never been ques- tioned at security in all these years because of the 3oz. limitation. I always take the bottle out of my bag and put it in a clear plastic bag with other small gels and liquids I carry. Any 3oz bottle that accepts a regular pump spray top would work just as well.

Some retailers and banks have started offering custom- ers the option of receiving receipts from purchases and ATM transactions via email. While this is a con- venient alternative to paper clutter, Better Business Bu- reau is reminding shoppers to protect their identity in the process. Many retailers offer e-re- ceipts for both our conve- nience and theirs. E-receipts save retailers money, and theymakeiteasierforyouto electronicallyfilethem away until they're needed for re- turns, warranties or taxes. E-receipts can often be tied to your store affinity card, but you can often opt for paperless simply by pro- vidingyouremailaddress to the clerk at the time of pur- chase. There are also online companies that offer to or- ganize and store digital re- ceipts. You must create an account and provide your credit or debit card infor- mation, which the company uses to track transactions. After purchases, the com- pany retrieves receipt infor- mation directly from retail- ers and stores it online. Be careful! Obviously this kind of service is ripe for scam- mers to mimic in order to steal your information. While paperless receipts may offer savings for retail- ers and convenience to you, be sure you're aware of what else you could be receiving inyourinbox.Alongwithre- ceipts, businesses may send "junk mail" filled with sur- veys,couponsandotherpro- motional offers. They may also use your information to build profiles on demo- graphics and buying habits. For shoppers who are in- terested in opting for the pa- perless, e-receipt, BBB offers the following tips: Findouthowthebusiness plans to keep your informa- tion secure. You'll want to check to see if the business plans on selling your infor- mation to third-parties. If they do, be on the lookout for unsolicited emails re- questing your personal in- formation; they could be scams that download mal- ware on your computer.
