corvette has been known to go over 150 miles per hour. In 1956 the corvette received its first major styling update. The major changes are an all-new body style with “scooped out” sides, outside door, handles, roll up windows, and an optional removable hardtop.

The Ford Thunderbird, an American classic, is a car manufactured in the United States by Ford Motor Company. It was created only twenty months after Chevrolets Corvette as a comeback car and entered design for the 1955 model year as a two-seater resembling a sports car, which went on sale on October 22, 1954 (Wilson 116).

SeaHunter 31 Tournament Fish the wide-open seas With the abundance of boats on the market, it sometimes becomes a bit daunting looking into the purchase of a new vessel. Boat buyers tend to seek boats which meet a specific fishing need, rather than finding a boat that is multi-functional, primarily because much of boats cater to a specific function whether that is offshoring, saltwater fishing, or freshwater.

circular shape of this object and that of the other attached to the white board appeared to coincide with each other. The object of this possible sport seemed to be putting that object through the rusted circular counterpart.

“Looking for these?” she asks. I nod my head as her aged hands firmly hold the framed drawing of Hejduk’s wall house. The ever-changing wrinkle pattern of her skin mimics the aging qualities of the drawing. As she gently rests the object on the hardtop table, you can hear the tear in the fragile fabric of the canvas. As the librarian returns to her office, I am left alone with this breathtaking object. At first glance, Hejduk’s drawing presents itself as an act of childish gesture, with a simple

Amber's scream brought me out of my fog as I leaped to my feet and raced to her side. Amber was still in bed, shaking and covered with sweat when I reached her. Her bed was a mass of tangled sheets and blankets. It looked as though she had fought a battle in her sleep. Still partially under the effects of her dream, she wrapped her arms around me and dissolved into body-wracking sobs. Whatever she had dreamt had emotionally hit her hard. I held her tight, whispering comforting words softly in
