easily be the one everyone loves the most, but also the character you easily pity due to his naïve persona. I really enjoyed how over time Knox takes a liking to Miguel and JP, and doesn't just look at them as just some annoying children who are a lucky charm around his neck.

Not too many older movies I have seen have been able to insert things that were not actually videotaped

Starting with the most important aspect of the internship, Senator Donovan was amazing. I feel very lucky to have gotten to spend the internship in her office. Senator Donovan, who is from Vail, represents seven counties including: Eagle, Pitkin, Lake, Chaffee, Hinsdale, Gunnison and Delta county. When looking at the makeup of these counties, it is a hard area to represent. For starters, Senator Donovan does not represent any solid blue counties.

stressed because of am or pm duties and that, I can’t do anything “big” about it I’m really sorry I piss you off (most of the time) – (sometimes you’re bitch, i know you know that) I know you know how much I do care and love you despite it all.

love our sugar water). There are several people that I know that are not as lucky as I am though. My neighbor lost his job in a machine shop two years ago and has since been working two to three jobs since then just to make ends meet, and his is definitely not an isolated case. My cousin works in the flooring industry and went through several lean years due to the decline in new construction. So I would count myself very lucky that things have been stable in my household. What has happened to local

Thirty seconds changed my life forever. That day, I was sitting at at a stop sign, the sun was shining, the radio was blasting, and I finally had my license. Everything was perfect. I looked left, looked right, looked left again and turned left, across traffic. Before I realized what was happening, I was hit on the driver's side by a car going well over the speed limit. It was all a blur and it felt like everything was moving in slow motion. I remember sitting in the middle of the intersection as
