According to a recent analysis conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, during the last decade, the years’ highest number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities occur on New Year’s Day, so AAA Alabama and wrecker services are offering Tow-for-Life for the 25th year in a row.

Tow-for-Life is a public service program that provides free towing services to keep impaired drivers off the road.  It begins at 6 p.m. on Friday, December 30th and continues until 6 a.m. New Year's Day.

To receive free towing on New Year’s Eve:
• Call AAA Alabama at 1-800-222-4357 (1-800-AAA-HELP) and ask for Tow-for-Life.

For many families, the holiday season marks one of the only times of year that all members can gather together to celebrate and enjoy each other's company. The portrait before and after this joyous time, however, is often far less picturesque for seniors living alone or far away relatives.

As the aging population continues to grow - the U.S. Census Bureau projects over 88 million people age 65 and older in the U.S.

Goodwyn, Mills, and Cawood Architect Gerald Clark stopped by WAFF 48 Studios today. He showed us how ANYONE can build a can structure. Try these steps at home to build a can pyramid:

1) Collect your cans.

2) Sort the cans by size and color. 

3) Find a stable surface like a hardwood floor.

4) Make sure you have general purpose string, rubber bands, tape, scissors, and card board.

5) Line your cans into the shape of a large circle. Make sure all exterior cans have the same colors. 

6) FOR EVERY TWO CAN STACKS...

A) Tie string around the top stack. (Use rubber bands for extra reinforcement if needed.) 

B) Lay cardboard on top. (You may have to cut the cardboard to match the shape of your circle stack.) This will help stabilize the taller structures.

C) Decrease the size of the circle stack. 

7) Keep building until you end up with one or two cans on top. CONGRATULATIONS!
