Another thing is that criminal activity is lower as most wrongdoings are committed in the dark. Furthermore, thanks to shifting the time people use less artificial light. This effects a…

Living in Baton Rouge is a daily struggle for me and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people from early morning and especially late afternoon, not because of the humidity and not because of the bad road conditions but Baton Rouge’s awful traffic. Every day for approximately 45 minutes to an hour I have no choice but to deal with the traffic, because I work in WBR and there’s only two ways to enter into EBR from WBR, the New Mississippi Bridge or as I know it the old bridge. It’s becoming one of…

In Kerouac’s novel, the dreams of where the road might take them provide an escape for both Sal and Dean from a mundane East Coast lifestyle, and a way to forget the mistakes of the past. Similarly in Thompson’s piece, a voyage of revelation fueled by an underlying desire to understand the American Dream offers a chance to escape for Raoul and his attorney using…
Tailgating is all-too-common on the roads today. Not only does it give you little reaction time when the car in front brakes, the car also blocks your view of the road ahead. If the vehicle in front is a truck, then your lack of visibility is compounded. Tailgating a motorcyclist threatens the person's life.
