<br /><br />Downstairs in the lobby my spirits picked up a little. This hotel was so nicely decorated--old western antiques everywhere. I was getting that &quot;Nevada&quot; feeling. It's a wonderful feeling that you don't really get in Las Vegas. These small towns, and even Reno, have a wonderful flavor all their own. You feel a part of their culture and a part of their history. It was a nice feeling of belonging. I was glad we were here.

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.

Mansfield Park - The heroine of this novel is the subject of much debate among Austen fans. Some find Fanny Price tepid and dull, but I believe that to be a low estimation of her worth. If you really give this an honest and thorough read, you'll find Fanny to be a wonderful character. True she isn't as flashy and fun as Elizabeth Bennett or Emma Woodhouse, but we can't all be lively and vivacious. This is a great book about morality and honor and discretion. I have no movie recommendations for this one. The 1999 version with Frances O'Connor was cast with some fine actors and the art direction and cinematography were first rate, but this heavily rewritten version is almost an insult to what Austen was trying to accomplish with her wonderful novel.




traffic pile Realize that cars do not drive by themselves but in the future smart technology and smart Freeways may provide the answer as in the latest science fiction movies. How practical and costly are these systems to the price of a car? Quite a bit, but a radar based system may provide more safety for auto drivers. We are bullish on this technology and we realize as we see more and more innovations come into the modern automobile.




The girls agreed wholeheartedly. Fear was now our companion. We maneuvered the car around on the highway--there were no other cars or lights anywhere in the vicinity. Our only relief on our way back was the dark humor we enjoyed about the sinister laughing of the gas station attendant carving another hash mark into the backroom once we'd left.

In more recent times in Leicestershire in England in 2012, a short but powerful hailstorm saw hundreds of car owners lodging claims, some within five minutes of the sky exploding. Many cars had windscreen damage, broken mirrors and the roof of many cars took on a dimpled look. Dozens of people claimed their car was a write-off. No collision with a pole or another car. No stolen or burnt-out vehicles in sight. Many were unrecognizable as the fury of the hailstones and even shards or ice smashed cars beyond recognition; a car insurance company's nightmare.

But what if it's not something so severe? What if it's a personal thing? Somebody promised to do something for you and they didn't come through. Or maybe it's a relatively minor thing like work was supposed to be completed by a certain date and was late by a week. There may have been extenuating circumstances that you weren't aware of. Maybe they tried to email you but for some reason, the email never got delivered. Not every email makes it to its destination.

in sổ walked to the Highway Patrol offices which were locked up, but one of the patrol cars was pulling into the lot. I waited and spoke to him. He told me the roads were pretty good now and that the snowplows had gone through a couple of times between Tonopah and Goldfield. I went back to the hotel to rouse the girls from their slumber. I actually ran into Ron again in the hallway.

Interesting? How about a complete "astrological" driver's profile? According to the website, here are the Astrological Signs that had the most influence over drivers, causing them to have the greatest number of tickets and accidents, from worst to best.
