This is one of my favorite stories to tell, because it shows how some truckers never get the stories straight. This one is about a rock throwing situation while driving down the road. Here we go! One day in Tenessee, I was driving along. The day was a beautiful day, sunshine, warm, and the rest. There was this other driver, ahead of me. asking for a report of police location for miles. Even after all those miles, he never got a response from the drivers going the other way. I wanted to help him out, so I started clowning. I told the driver he would never get any response from that side, pursuing it in the manner that he was. He told me that he didn't ask me, and that I needed to shut my damn mouth. I responded with " be careful driver,
The retelling of spooky ghost stories has been a favorite activity in many cultures, wether it be around a campfire of written in various articles and book. Perhaps one of the most mysterious supernatural activities can be reported on the islands of Hawaii. Known as the Night Marchers, these spirits have been known to roam the land, revisiting ancient war sites and significant historical landmarks. In the book, “Marchers of the Night” by Helen P. Hoyt, a renowned Hawaiian author, he describes his first experience with the Huaka’ipo, or the Night Marchers. “In all the hundred years of my life I have seen the Marchers of the Night, the Huaka’ipo, only twice…” (Hoyt 1969). He then continues to explain how “on the night of the sixth of August, 1918, a night sacred to Ku, ancient god of all warriors” the Night Marchers, which their torches and pounding drums came to his house in the town of Waianae. Based on the many stories about the Night Marchers and the other cultures around the world who have similar spirits, I will attempt to demonstrate that these ghosts are more fact than fiction.

We were driving along a northern stretch of Interstate 70 keeping up with traffic at the designated 75 mph speed limit. Positioned in the middle lane and about to pass a big semi-trailer truck, another car suddenly appeared to our right. It came within inches of clipping our right front bumper as it squirreled its way between us and the semi into the middle lane. My heart jumped into my throat as the maniac driver threaded through an opening of a few feet and ended up in front of us. Going approximately 85 or 90 mph, he was soon out of sight.

In the instance of drunk driving, the actions of the drunk driver are related to the safety of the drivers within their proximity and therefore affects not only the driver but others as well. Our previous moral experiences allow us to determine what the intentions of the drunk driver might be. Some drivers may choose to drive under the influence of alcohol because they have had an emergency that requires them to be at a certain place and they do not have the means to reach to their destination except for driving themselves. In this case, the context becomes complicated and intricate. However, if the driver is risking his own and other drivers’ safety, it becomes clear that their intentions are based on nonchalance and disregard for others.
I rolled down my window a few inches and told them I would not be exiting my vehicle. The taller man wanted to fight me and kept screaming curse words at me, and his shorter friend repeated everything he said. The men were angry because Austin, Micah, and the other cars were speeding down through their road. I kept trying to move my car forward, but the men cursed at me and told me not to move. Austin's truck was about a hundred yards in front of me and I saw that he was reversing, because he saw that we were stopped. Once Austin arrived, the ruffians left my car and told Austin that he should not be speeding down their road. They were worried that kids could be hurt by an accelerating car. The shorter man wanted to fight Austin, and the men threatened Austin by saying that they would shoot him if he ever came back down their road. After both guys finished talking to Austin, they came back to my car yelling profane words and insults at me. Once they finished, the guys started walking back to their trailer and we drove off. It was one of the most intense situations I have ever been in. My adrenaline was pumping and I was afraid for my life. The caravan of vehicles drove back to Austin’s house and we relayed our stories between each other. I then came to realize Lambert Road was not a planned trip, it was a directionless
Injustice, Prejudice, social inequality, this is the recipe for hate that leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is a fact that humans despise other humans, It has been like that for thousands of years. Humans have been well known for doing some ruthless things such as making horrible remarks to someone mainly because that person is different.
