I have seen footage on T.V. from famous trials and of course seen reenactments from Hollywood, but I have never been to one in person until now. I can tell you this, T.V. and movies make…

Hey everyone. It's Badger. Rafter is out for a bit thanks to a project for a public speaking class, so I'm kind of the only one who's free to post for the moment. So here's my post: Once again, I've noticed my random paddling crews giving me odd looks for asking to sit in an strangely specific section of the raft: left-hand tube near the stern of the raft, usually at the last thwart in the back. People who don't know me seem to assume that I'm sitting there because it's the safest. It's…

said to my dad as the coach bus rolled into the hilly parking lot of the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort on Mirror Lake. My eyes lit up with excitement like a dog seeing a new chew toy. The year was 2012, and I was a part of the Minnesota/Wisconsin Jr. Badgers also known as Team Lake Placid. The games were played at the Olympic Center where U.S.A beat the Soviet Union in 1980 in Lake Placid, New York. This historical event was named Miracle On Ice.

Badger states “by 2040 at that moment, non-Hispanic whites will make up less than 50 percent of the U.S. population.

In a small burrow on the side of a large hill a small rodent sits waiting for a clear coast to jump out and find something to eat. These smaller animals sometimes have it hard trying to find a place to live, something to keep them from predators and finding something to eat. The prairie dog may be found in the region of south-central Canada to northeastern Mexico, has tan and brown fur covering most of its body, and has a diet of mostly grasses, plants, and weeds. The Black-tailed prairie dog…
