Ting couldn't pan nor enlarge this view. Button 5 surprised Ting. On the mini-screen the interior of the room Ting was sitting in, complete with Elizabeth and Flakey was there for all to see. 'Is that what I look like?' asked Flakey, not too displeased. 'Yes,' replied Ting. 'but why have a screen watching what we're doing?' 'Maybe there's another room, with another set of buttons.' Flakey mentioned this but didn't expect much of a response. 'Flakey has to be right,' Elizabeth smiled at her hero then asked about button 6. 'What does that do?' 'Only one way to find out.'

Ezra wiped away a tear, 'I didn't see how we got here, I only know we did. How about you?' 'I came through that wall over a week before the festivities opened to the public.' Ting remembered sunny days and holidays.'Middleseton is such a lovely place when the sun is out.' 'What's that needle doing?' 'It's steady at 70.' 'Why were you in Middleseton a week before everybody else?'' Ezra encouraged Ting to share something, anything to unblock the mental pathways to his past. 'You never talk about yourself or how you feel. Everyone knows how concerned you are for Flakey and Elizabeth and getting them to the Safe Place. Obviously it's very important to you but why are you such are a mystery, an enigma...'

...ce was calling almost all of the flocks in our area into our decoys. For as many duck hunts as I have been on, I have never seen someone so productive with duck calls.
Cool calm mornings, the fog on the lake is dense and all you can see is your decoys. As shooting hours roll around and the sun is just starting to peak over the horizon, the fog slowly lifts off the lake and the target at hand begins to swoop, lock up and land. What am I talking about? Ducks, one of the most majestic birds at hand, in my opinion. Ducks are one of the best animals to hunt, because one it’s a great challenge and two it is one of the most heart racing sports known to man. But what makes it so heart racing? Well when you’re out there and you hear you’re first mallard quack or your first wood duck whistle you get that deep adrenaline rush, your heart begins to pump faster and harder.

The Election of 1800 was one that some people saw as making or breaking this nation; Edward Larson’s “A Magnificent Catastrophe” outlines the details of the nineteenth century political election between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Of the two candidates one was a “blunt speaking man of independent mind,” and the other was known for the famous line he wrote in the constitution, “All men are created equal.” These gentlemen started out as close friends who confided in one another living under the same roof, and soon became candidates running against their good friend. Both candidates sought out a reason for why the American Revolution occurred and what the meaning was, and both candidates had differenciated views. This presidential election
