Ditch

Early last night the ant swarm reached the house and Mr. Leiningen lit the ditches. The first run of the oil lasted roughly 6 hours before we had to go out and refill the ditches. This was quite the task due to the heat of the already burning fire, but also the ravenous hoard of face-eaters just 5 feet opposite of us. We filled the ditch, retreated back within the compound, and waited patiently for the herd to die away, however it did not. After the last of the oil started to burn off, Mr. Leiningen ordered his men to start throwing all of the wooden items within the compound over the fence to keep the flames going. Then Mr. Leiningen put of an outfit similar to a beekeeper’s outfit and soaked it with the remaining pints of oil. He said the oil would keep the ants off of him long enough to reach the dam. He was going to blow the dam, flooding his plantation, and washing the evil menace…

now. My Dad asked, “Are you ready, now?” “Okay, I’m going down the hill now,” I responded. I hopped onto my bike and started going down the hill, gaining more speed each second. My bike is going so fast! I think this is defying the laws of physics! With all that was happening, I did not seem to notice that I was back at the path intersection and I had to make a right turn. There’s a turn in the road! Slow down! Slow down! “What’s happening?” I murmured. Everything else after that…

We dried in our new barn mid 2011; it included footing/subsurface perimeter drains. A barn-side ditch serviced the garage apron curtain drain, a 50x15-ft pathway and 300 sqft roof. The original ditch of 2-inch stone, overhang and loafing area waters exited at the rock retaining wall via a 2x2x100-ft curtain drain. In August, 2011 hurricane Irene caused extensive damage nearby however none by our barn -- proving the ditch was adequate for our purposes Until late 2011 Sheplers acreage above,…

Lights go on in the house. We run back to the ditch. Is it to late? Did they hear something, and they are coming to check it out? Why are we even hiding? It would probably be more sketchy if they found us sitting in the ditch trying to hide then if we were just walking. Oh sorry, i should have told you what is going on. So my friends and I had a fantastic idea. We were going to ding-dong ditch. So here is how it all went down. We were sitting in a big group of people listening to a story about…

According to Eunice Choi in her article “Ditch Social Media at the Dining Table”, states that when one person pulls out their phone we gladly follow. She also explains how it has become a way of life for us a way to store memories and a way to keep up with the latest trends. Just like anything else, how we decide to utilize social media determines whether it’s “good” or “bad” for us. After gaining this information I agree with Choi on many aspects of her article but I agree with one point more…

We Should Never Ditch the Idea of Privacy The world we are all living in is quickly becoming a technology dominated society where we would all be lost without our smartphones, tablets and other fancy gadgets. As a result, we can efficiently contact and pull up information in a flash, but just a short time ago these kinds of things would only be seen in the latest sci-fi flick. Consequently, the benefits of this new technology are met with drawbacks too. In all honesty, our privacy is at a risk…

It was a bright, white, snowy, cold day. The roads are covered with snow and the fields look like clouds with trees, the edges of the clouds are the snow filled ditches with the ice covered frozen bottoms. Dad had the day off of work and asked if I wanted to go snowmobiling with him. I obviously said yes because I’ve wanted to go all year. After we put on all of our snow pants, coat, gloves, and helmet he helped me get the snowmobiles out of the garage and start them. He was riding his 2012…

On 6-11-2016 I Pltm. Butram was patrolling the area of Lockwood Rd. I observed a older female sitting in the ditch on the south side of the road.

I advised Mary I was with the Madison Township Police Department and I was here to help her. Mary appear to me to have been sitting in the ditch soaking wet, and covered in mud for sometime. I observed Mary’s…
