The house had cooled several degrees and she felt the cold. The homage to Theo caught her eye again, sending her brain into overdrive. “It’s bloody cold in here.” She rubbed her arms. “I don’t know if I can do this,” she whispered as she bent down and picked up the clothes she’d dropped earlier. Putting on her panties and pants, Carly avoided eye contact

Despite the tremendous economic success in Texas and its overall well-being, the state continues to face its nonstandard set of challenges that must be addressed immediately. Certainly, the most pressing issue is a deteriorating transportation infrastructure, which requires innovation, long-range planning and, of course, investment (Button & Reggiani, 2011). The following study focuses on the deteriorating transportation infrastructure as a major issue facing the state of Texas. The report will also

Unexplained mysteries attached to highway 666 are hard to ignore when you view the statistics associated with the renamed highway. Time travel and the extreme amount of accidents is insurmountable.

The Construction of The Alaskan Highway started in Lieu of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Originally, the initial construction was to start February 1942, however finding the right crew to construct such a highway was more difficult than originally anticipated.

The Only Way to Complete the American Dream The “American Dream” is very overwhelming or complicated to reach; only because of it is proven that once someone reaches the so called “American Dream,” after about five to ten years later they are no longer happy or content with what they have. The only way that makes this “dream” even remotely easy is working through all of the rough times with friends and family with determination and integrity.

Repairing the Problem with America's Transportation System  There is a serious problem with our nation's roads and highways.  I find myself repeatedly avoiding trips to the city for this very reason, as I'm sure many others do as well.  This nerve-wracking congestion is even beginning to find its way into the suburbs and surrounding areas of large cities.  It is a   serious problem that affects everyone who owns an automobile, as well as, businesses that are dependent on reliable and convenient

I really enjoyed the fact of not having to deal with the stressful environment my job created. Little did I know, this particular Friday night in November, danger lied ahead.

treacherously narrow and winding Malahat Mountain Highway on South Vancouver Island has been an on-going issue since its conception back in 1861 when it was built as a cattle trail, then up-graded to wagon-road status in 1884 and eventually paved in 1911 (Commission).
