WIND STORM...
Not really sure what we did on Friday but I know it was something to do with Philosophy. I was freaking out last night because I was afraid the blog was due at midnight and I left my computer at my grandmother's and didn't get home till 10:30 or 11:00. I stayed after school at my grandparents with my sister and my mom until like 8:45 and then started to drive home. When we were over at my grandmother's, she asked us to go out and get her and her husband dinner, so we did. When we exited her court we saw a huge tree across the road so we turned down a different road. On the next road we saw two firetrucks and multiple cop cars whose sirens were screaming. A branch had fallen right in front of our eyes and landed on a power line. It burst into flames and the firefighters were trying to figure out what to do. Then I saw people running from the house just as the whole tree fell on the line and blew into sparks and flames. Then the cops told us to leave the road in case the house caught on fire. We left at 8:45 and got home at 10:30. There were multiple trees down on the road and huge eighteen wheelers Jack-knifed on the road. We sat for an hour while three police cars tried to help a truck driver whose bed came unhitched. When we got onto our road; Trappe Church, we were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. We have a little bridge you have to cross on the road and this greyhound bus couldn't cross it. Finally the driver was so tired he floored it and made it across. I had to wait two hours to get home but it was nothing compared to the bus behind us. The bus had the flashing banner saying where it was going and it was heading up to New York. A man hopped out of the bus and asked my mom and I where we were going and we said just a mile up and we asked him how long they have been on the road and he said thirteen hours. He was coming from somewhere down past Maryland. He said he was just passing through. When we finally got to our house it was bumper to bumper and we turned into our driveway. My mom was afraid someone was going to mistake our driveway for a road and follow us; no one did. I sat on the porch while my mom checked to see if we had power and we did. As I was sitting I saw ambulances and firetrucks pull in front of my neighbors house and traffic stopped for another hour. I watched from inside, I'm guessing someone got into an accident. My grandparents still don't power. We lost power around 4 pm Friday to 9 pm the same night, not that bad if you ask me but that is because we are on a main road. That is it... so yeah!

            A Message to Garcia is a story that shows that you should just do your job when asked without making an excuse. Elbert Hubbard is basically saying that when you are asked to complete a certain task, don't backtalk or give sass, just do it. I think that he is right that you should do something when you are asked. I disagree with him when he says that he wants to "kick them with a boot" though. I think that you should just encourage them and get them motivated to do their job. If they fail to obey your orders then fire them. When they gather their things to leave, just tell them, "good luck getting a job when you refuse to work".             I think that you should be like Rowan. Rowan had to sneak behind enemy lines in Cuba to complete a risky job, to deliver a letter to the general. He didn't refuse, give up, or even give an excuse. He simply accepted the mission and went to work. Now a man that obeys an order to go behind enemy lines and risk h

Test Grade Finalized As of today, I officially got my first A on a human geo test. I know whoever is reading this is probably like wow it took long enough and yes, it did. I finally got an A on one of his tests instead of getting a thirty percent or a forty. I actually think that my highest was a sixty-nine and now this is my highest. I was actually really glad too because it raised my grade up and now I have all B-ees and two A-s I know that isn't good but I actually have really high B-ees. I am working really hard because I have to raise my gpa. Anyway, I got a ninety-two, not a high A, but an A. Basically we just went over the test during class and that will help for our midterm review and eventually the midterm.

It appears that I have forgotten to write my blog Friday or Saturday. Now I have no excuse and Socrates is probably shocked. Friday we talked about two maps and how they were different and which one was correct and which was incorrect. Then we watched a little film where people were trying to sell maps to people in the White House. It was all fake of course, then we continued to talk about the two maps. Class was mainly about the maps, except for the part in which the girls complained that it was too hot. The Bel Air versus John Carroll game was really fun too. The only thing was I didn't know if I wanted to be at the top of the bleachers or the bottom. If you look at it, if you sit at the top and the structure collapses you have the longest drop. But if you are at the bottom and somebody falls it is human dominoes and you get squished into a pancake. I decided to stand somewhere in the middle and I told my friends if this goes down like dominoes then jump and we will see what happ
