Every time I walk into Texas Roadhouse my eyes wonder over to where the rolls and their special cinnamon butter waiting to be consumed by the customer. I hear country music playing in the background, and feel peanuts crumbling under my feet like leaves on a beautiful autumn day. Without looking at the menu, my mind is already preparing my stomach for the flavorful food that I am about to encounter. Texas Roadhouse gives the Newark population somewhere local to get a great steak while getting a…

Marana, Arizona- it was a hot summer in 1982, surrounded by desert sands, cactus and Palo Verde trees where two young children of a ranch hand whose curiosity guided them on their lessons in freedom. The morning sun rises and a warm breeze is in the air, the horses are saddled and ready for the new day adventure. A refreshed brown and tan Quarter horse named Ms. Barb is waiting patiently for me, and a paint Palomino horse named ironically Paint is waiting for my brother, Mark. We will rise up…

Schooley & Wiens tested the perceptual range and the movement behavior of cactus bug (Chelinidea vittiger), an insect and common pest among prickly pear cacti, finding a strong tendency to walk upwind in search of suitable patches (2003).

This country is well now as the surrealist place where nothing never happens; And we don’t mean “this is a boring place full of donkeys and cactus and zarapes” we mean “Is there a massacre? Ignore it.” “Someone needs help? Look to the other side” But the phrase which irritates me the most is “We are fine, we could be like the Venezuela but we aren’t, you should considerate yourself lucky.” WHY are we supposed to be that conformist? Can someone tell why is so wrong to want something better? Why…

Today I will be talking about the biome I have chosen for my report. I chose the driest landform you would ever hear about, the Desert. There are so many interesting facts about the Desert that I bet you haven’t even heard of. Did you know that Death Valley has a large mass of water underneath it that includes one of the most rarest fish ever. That fish is called the Blue Pufferfish. Some of the desert’s i'm going to be babbling about is the Great Victoria Desert. This desert is located in…

Special snowflake Bruh was a demigod child of a goddess named Hecate and a mortal dude named Charlie. Since Bruh was the child of the magic goddess he could like do the magic thing well and thought was a special snowflake, and Bruh was very prideful and often a jerk because no one liked Bruh. Bruh would often barge in to places like, “LOL give all your money or ill beat you with magic until you’re all bloody and dead” so he always got what he wanted to. Bruh also made all the poor towns…

During 1938 in Switzerland, a man by the name of Dr. Albert Hofmann, discovered Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the pharmaceutical-chemical department of Sandoz Laboratories. Hoffman hoped that this drug could be used to stimulate circulation and respiration, though this idea fortunately failed. He soon had forgotten about the new found drug, and didn’t utilize it for the next five years. In 1943, he continued to observe the drug, and by accidentally ingesting LSD he later experienced some…

“Helping the environment grow” For my ecology project I planted a desert native tree. My dad and I worked together to plant the tree in the ground. I planted the tree in a small dirt section near a cactus at my house. I planted a mesquite tree because it’s a desert native tree. The reason I planted it is because it will improve the environment around my house. I planted the tree October 20th. I planted it by digging a hole twice the size of the plant, then I put it in the dirt and created a…

Ever wonder what happiness tastes like? It’s a sensation that invigorates liveliness of the body, mind, and spirit. Happiness comes in many forms. It’s sweet and savory, hot and cold, food and drink. One of the many places to indulge in glorious scrumptious happiness rests off the corner of Wall St. in a little place north of San Diego called Puesto. Walking the beautiful boardwalk of La Jolla will work up any appetite and while you’ll have to resist the many seaside restaurants with…
