He wasn't sure

There were two things that were important to Tracey. The first was her dog. Anyone that had ever met
Tracey knew how much she loved her dog. Most would say that she treated it as her child. The dog went
everywhere with her and it had been her best friend for the past five years. The second thing that was
important to Tracey, however, would be a lot more surprising to most people.

They needed to find a place to eat. The kids were beginning to get grumpy in the back seat and if they
didn't find them food soon, it was just a matter of time before they were faced with a complete
meltdown. Even knowing this, the solution wasn't easy. Everyone in the car had a different opinion on
where the best place to eat would be with nobody agreeing with the suggestions of the others. It
seemed to be an impossible no-win situation where not everyone would be happy no matter where they
decided to eat which in itself would lead to a meltdown. Yet a decision needed to be made and it

Since they are still preserved in the rocks for us to see, they must have been formed quite recently, that
is, geologically speaking. What can explain these striations and their common orientation? Did you ever
hear about the Great Ice Age or the Pleistocene Epoch? Less than one million years ago, in fact, some
12,000 years ago, an ice sheet many thousands of feet thick rode over Burke Mountain in a
southeastward direction. The many boulders frozen to the underside of the ice sheet tended to scratch
the rocks over which they rode. The scratches or striations seen in the park rocks were caused by these
attached boulders. The ice sheet also plucked and rounded Burke Mountain into the shape it possesses
today.

She had made it especially for him so he would have forced it down even if he had absolutely hated it.
That's simply the way things worked. She made him a new-fangled drink each day and he took a sip of it
and smiled, saying it was excellent.

Betty decided to write a short story and she was sure it was going to be amazing. She had already
written it in her head and each time she thought about it she grinned from ear to ear knowing how
wonderful it would be. She could imagine the accolades coming in and the praise she would receive for
creating such a wonderful piece. She was therefore extremely frustrated when she actually sat down to
write the short story and the story that was so beautiful inside her head refused to come out that way
on paper.

It was a question of which of the two she preferred. On the one hand, the choice seemed simple. The
more expensive one with a brand name would be the choice of most. It was the easy choice. The safe
choice. But she wasn't sure she actually preferred it.
Don't be scared. The things out there that are unknown aren't scary in themselves. They are just
unknown at the moment. Take the time to know them before you list them as scary. Then the world will
be a much less scary place for you.
