The back nine is a much better challenge than the front. It starts with yet another great par five, and like the two long holes on the front, is virtually unreachable in two. Every step of the way, accuracy is required on this hole, first with a fairway metal or long iron through a window that stays short of a creek, then another long shot that avoids a watery grave that lines the entire right side of the fairway.

Alternate 95 was virtually untraveled and unplowed. Remnant paths of cars gave indications of lanes. It was a tense, long drive. Brittany fell asleep. Heather kept me company. With my eyes glued to the road, I was able to enjoy several hours of her tellings of college life. That was why I had volunteered for this road trip--once Heather gets home she is always so involved with her siblings and friends--I seem to miss out on the one-to-one conversations which bring connectedness. I'd really been missing Heather. This was bittersweet--I was getting all the lowdown, but at the same time I was stressing over the drive. I was grateful for her insomnia.




traffic pile One I recommend is Presumption: An Entertainment by Julia Barrett. It is a cute sequel to Pride and Prejudice. It is the story of what happens to Mr. Darcy's sister, Georgiana.




"26 miles." His compassion was incredulous. He actually watched us shop as if we were going to steal something from his store. I went to the car with my coffee. click here and Brittany returned with the tale of his accusation that their ten-dollar bill was counterfeit. We shook it off.

When you're shopping for insurance quotes (or, specifically, auto insurance quotes) you're looking for two things-good prices and good coverage. If you're constantly backing into lampposts, rear-ending the guy in front of you or finding yourself at the bottom of a 10 car pile-up, you're not going to be able to find either of those! What can you do? Work on making up with whoever's pulling the strings, and do damage control when it comes to your insurance.

Like it or not, your business depends on a lot on how you publicly conduct yourself. You may have some very valid reasons for complaining about the things that you complain about. But perception is reality. If it seems that all you do is complain and that you seem to have nothing but bad experiences, folks are going to wonder if MAYBE a lot of it isn't YOUR fault. It may not be. But like I said, perception is reality.

Have you ever been driving down the road and had the strong hunch to slow down? Suddenly, you see a police car who could have caught you speeding if you had not listened to that gut feeling. Or perhaps you got the hunch to speed up or change lanes. Then you see something that lets you know that if you had not done so, you would have been part of a multi-car pile-up or a wreck of some kind.

Too often, people obtain a ticket and pay the fine rather than deal with the process of going to court. Many people are unsure how to challenge a moving violation. There is a perception that whatever the police officer said is the only thing that matters. These views are untrue. Any traffic lawyer will tell you that in many cases, police officers make mistakes. Sometimes, the equipment is faulty, or the wrong driver is cited. Protect yourself from a moving violation you were not responsible for with a traffic lawyer.
