.... the time for us to find the desired vessel arrived. We chose the kayaks, and set out for the water. Carefully, with our torn-jeans rolled up, and shirts off, we dragged the massive thing over the slope of grass and mud into the shallow stream. We then hopped aboard, grabbed the paddles, and floated and splashed into nowhere. The wavy current sucked us downstream, periodically bouncing us off of sandbags and sharp branches leaning over the water- Now that was true adventure! Minutes later, my brother and I, after passing under many pipes and tunnels, floated into a huge "cul de sac" of water, with an island in the center. In ou .....

.... a green trunk, maroon body, and a navy blue hood. The thing took about three minutes to start and another five to warm up, and that was in the summer. Ten minutes later he showed up at my desk. I could still smell her perfume on him. He looked terrible, like usual, man he was such a good guy, but he didn't have a lucky bone in his body. “So what's up now Steve? . . . another vending machine robbery . . . more scuff marks?” Pat looked like a detective, you know what I mean, the way the detectives looked in those old movies. He had a bad suit on, with a tie loosened and hanging down and his shirt opened up, and he usua .....

.... slow down in the heavy fog and did not see the stop sign at the intersection; he was thrown through the windshield. Mrs. Little was rushed to the Hospital and listed in critical condition, gee gee and henry did not get dinner. Mr. Jones broke both his legs and lost one arm, he is in Therapy and will need long term rehabilitation. Which means he will lose his business, and he will not be able to pay his child support, which is going to his ex-wife. She will loose the house that has been in her family for 100 years and they will have to move to a different area, which means Tommy junior will have to go to a different school, his .....

.... it was time for me to make a choice. My parents told me to think about other colleges and to think about other things to do instead of college, but I knew that < > was right for me. They often suggested that I go to community college for a semester or two and make sure that I was doing something that I wanted to do. I had attended the community college in my area during my last year in high school to take some extra courses, and I truly detested the place. I really did not want to go anywhere but < >. So I petitioned for readmission to a new department at< >. I decided that I should focus my studies on something other tha .....

.... the corner and walked up the apartment stairs. As his little twelve year old legs climbed the steps, he had to pass the bums that lay cold on the steps with their bottles of liquor. Once to the top of the staircase he passed a late dealer, and headed toward his home. As Wolfgang reached to the door it swung open nearly swiping off his arm. "What the hell do you think your doing out this late?" It was his father, again in a drunken state. "Get your ass in here!" he grabbed Wolfgang by the ear and pulled in him. "You know what use to happen to me when I was a kid?" he asked. "Not the closet, please no." Wolfgang pleaded wit .....

.... "UnderNet". The national/global computer network that was going to make our lives simpler by linking the regional infrastructure management computers. It made sense to have a system where electricity was diverted from one grid to another were it was needed more. Same with all the other resources of man.. fuel, water, food, and even surplus peoplepower in the form of the ten year old National Civilian Corp. If only the military hadn't been involved. They think everything has to be a part of the defense plans for our country. When the system went on-line, their supercomputers were blamed for the cold, heartless decision of t .....

.... addition to various other body parts too numerous to mention, I managed to drag myself out of the wrecked car (A job for the Jaws of Life, for sure, had it been any other person but me in that car), and then how I managed to haul all of the other survivors, among them the president himself, out of their cars, and to safety, only moments before a small fire that was caused by the crash reached the gas tank of one of the cars causing a breath- taking chain reaction of explosions and fires seen and heard for miles around I could...but I will not. In fact, I would not have it any other way. If a highly important meaningful event h .....

.... the way that she communicates. She is also an assertive person because she is alway confident about things. My mother also makes assumptions of other people without adding all the fact. I also observed that she sometimes uses non- verbal communication skills to substitute for verbal communication skills. For example, when she is talking about something that is large in size; she would open her arms wide to show what she is talking about. Finally, my mother also uses other things to put emphasis on words. I observed that she does this when she puts emphasis on words with non- verbal messages. For example, when she tells my .....

.... much really. I'm having trouble making friends here." "I know, its tough isn't it," he replied, trying to comfort her. "I just moved here 3 years ago myself. After a few weeks you'll have lots of freinds though." "Thats good," she replied as she looked up at Bob into his eyes. Then there was a moment of silence with just the two of them staring into each others eyes. Then finally Bob broke the silence and said "I know this seems kind of weird," Bob said shyly, "But, would you like to go to a movie with me this weekend?" Jennifer's face brightened up as she exclaimed, "I thought you'd never ask!" .....

.... scrub brush. While on the way down I was thinking both about how bad my legs were getting cut from the brush, but also about not slipping on the sandy trail. The mile long hike, downhill, was nothing but a warm up for me and my brother who are avid backpackers and trail hikers. When we reached the bottom there were signs of past water flow through here during the winter months. Then the water would be six feet deep and ten feet wide. We crossed over the rocky river bed and headed to the intermediate climbs off to the left. Both my brother and I are avid boulders (climbing without ropes) so this nothing new to either of us. .....
