The Oscars recently released their nominations for the 83^rd annual event and The King’s Speech and The Social Network led the pack with the most nominations. A movie about a stuttering king and a college student creating a website are not your typical leaders or blockbusters, but ones that definitely stirred up controversy and discussion.

 Many dedicated movie-goers were more than welcome to head to the internet to vent their frustrations on which movies or characters got the short end of the stick. Inception, The Fighter, 127 Hours, and The Town were all in the mix for movies deserving more nominations.

 Although I am not a movie critic or one that sees every box office winner each weekend, it is interesting to see which movies got recognition versus those who did not. Who knows, maybe I may even watch the show next month, although Ricky Gervais won’t be the host, striking fear in actors’ hearts.

 So while you judge the nominations from the comfort of your own home, be glad you aren’t James Franco in 127 Hours, being stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you do enjoy rock climbing or extreme sports, safety cannot be undervalued. Be sure to recognize that accidents can happen anywhere and at anytime. Whether it is on a mountain, in your dreams within dreams (within dreams), or in the boxing ring, accidents are there.

  However, since we don’t live in Hollywood, accidents are more likely to happen in our home or car. Be sure to review your home owner’s insurance and auto insurance policies. Give your Encharter Insurance agent a call at (888) 865-1244 or stop by one of our offices.

If I stumbled upon a duffel bag on the side of the road while walking into work this morning, my initial thought would not be to expect seeing thousands of dollars worth of cash inside. Cash would probably be third on the list after gym shorts and nothingness. If it did contain cash, the beginning of my day would have gone very differently.

 However, two transportation workers found a bag filled with $10,000 in cash on the side of a highway in Colorado. Rather than taking a few weeks off and enjoying a nice vacation, they did the noble thing and turned it into the authorities.

 Tales such as this one always has us asking ourselves, “Would I do the same thing?” The workers joked to each other of hoping to find an item like this and score big, but turning it in was probably no easy task. Nevertheless, the money was not theirs to claim and it should be returned to the rightful owner.

 Losing an asset as large as $10,000 would be devastating, yet people lose their homes and cars every day. Accidents are a daily occurrence and the best thing to work on besides prevention is protection. At Encharter Insurance, we are here to help you protect your assets and bounce back from any loss or accident you may incur.

 So even if you aren’t losing a duffel bag full of cash on a weekly basis, check in with your agent today by calling them at 888-865-1244 or visit our virtual office to look into our CT home insurance and CT auto insurance policies.
