Addi- My First Day of High School Fox- Side by Side

     During my summer my family and few other friends went to Lake Conroe, Texas for an end of the summer get away. While we were there we did many lake activities such as fishing off the dock, canoeing, swimming, and we rented a boat. Today I'm going to talk about our boat rental experience. We rented a pontoon boat which was advertised as a performance package. We picked this package because we decided we would go tubing. When the boat first got back to the house the young children got to go first. When they got back they told us the boat was a little slow, but we did not care because we still got to go tubing. The boat was extremely slow, but none the less the tubing was fun. However we got to half a tank of gas and decided we would go to the boat rental place and get gas and then we could tube around closer to the place.      On our way to the boat rental place we pulled in the tube because the water started to get rough. Eventually after a few minutes of slow traveling (ab

Fox - Killing Patton Thomas - An Introduction to Me

     If you know me at all you probably know I like cars, I like cars a lot. There are all kinds of cars for all kinds of people. If you like track cars built for all around great performance cars you might like European hyper cars such as the Lamborgini Hurácan or the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. If you are more of a loud and proud american you might like cars like the Corvette Z06 or the Dodge Demon. American built cars tend be the best at drag racing. So much so that the Dodge Demon has the fastest quarter-mile time of any production car ever. Brand new off the lot this car does wheelies. The legendary Corvette is the exception this car is made by the American manufacturer Chevy. This car was designed to compete with hyper cars such as Lamborghinis and Ferraris and be about one third of the cost. The Corvette absolutely gives hyper cars a run for their money so it is beautiful hybrid between American Muscle and European hyper cars. If you don't car what kind of car you drive as long

     For my free choice summer reading I read Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon and Fahrenheit 451. Today I will be responding to Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. This book is about an elite military group in Afghanistan who's primary objective is to eliminate/capture the leader of the Taliban Terrorist organization. When I was looking for a book to read I was looking for another Tom Clancy book because I had recently read Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. I picked this particular book because it was recommended to me by my cousin who also enjoys Tom Clancy.      I enjoyed this book because I enjoy realistic fiction and am interested in modern warfare. This book and most of Tom Clancy's other novels are both of these. What I found interesting about this book was that it showed the reader the amount of careful planning goes in to one of these operations. It also showed the reader the amount of stress and tension solders go through. In general it showed the reader how difficult and hard b
