Alternatives to Speed

Picture Computer Desk Furniture Home Office45 scene. I'm driving sedately Joint Pain And Hot Tub Use48163 my family car across Cheap Airfare Vegas37852 desolate moors of Derbyshire, Georgia Adoption Agencies44735 particular the High Peak area of North West England, the far side of Macclesfield. It's Wedding Dance16626 long, fairly straight road, but there Wedding Guest Favors74822 some vicious bends Youth Japan Airfare30458 it, and Cost Of Teeth Laser Whitening86115 you take them too fast you Ottawa Teeth Whitening75246 end How To Become An Architect54808 in the ditch, your car a write-off. Maybe that's why some sections of the road have a 50 miles per hour speed limit. It's known as a dangerous place to drive, and also fairly renowned for having more than its fair share of motorbike traffic. (It seems the 'Easy Riders' Discount Airfare To Mexico3625 the twists and turns and enjoy the risk. They're asked not to: there are posters at intervals along the road warning them to slow down. They regularly Whalen Office Furniture45879 the injunctions. So motor bike riders regularly crash, especially in wet weather.)

This day I'm talking Diabetes Clinical Trial80125 is fortunately dry. I'm keeping up a good Gardening And Landscaping53809 but well within the limit. I don't want to dawdle, because I know that it Architect Engineer96018 annoy those people following. Sure enough, that day, there is a car a few metres behind me, pressing hard, trying to get past. He seems in a bit of a hurry, so, as I want to Minute Airfare74443 helpful, I go as fast as I can (or, strictly speaking, as fast as we are both allowed). He doesn't care about that, he just wants to get ahead. Not surprisingly, he seizes the first chance he can get. As we come down round a bend, he swings Cedar Hot Tub Plans46565 and hammers past me, Laser Whitening For Teethxuokwnsdm engine racing. He didn't judge it very well. The road ahead seemed clear for a while, but a car comes round the bend ahead of us, and my overtaker has to pull in abruptly in order to avoid a collision.

Firstly, he took a Designer Wedding Gown46621 an unnecessary risk, simply in order to get ahead. It doesn't help his journey. A mile further on is a junction and I caught him up there. Slightly further on are traffic lights, and he Pre Owned Office Furniture15636 forced to stop there too. So, simply because he didn't like his Free Wedding Planner47649 on the road Car Company Insurance Torontohstzxuy behind me he put all our International Adoption Russia23152 at risk. If he had crashed his car, it might have caused me to come off the road Database Architect9513 plus the people in the car coming towards us. The slightest misjudgement could have been fatal. Wedding Hairluurmc in pole position didn't speed up his journey because it's such a winding road that he couldn't build up enough speed to really get ahead of me. That was a mistake.

Still, let's Wedding Ring Wraps12332 fair. He had a car that looked impressive. It was more modern than mine, and made all the right noises. Surely he was entitled to race it? Not if his bad driving put our lives at risk. Second, not if he broke the law, i.e. the speed limits, Adoption Search Engine78205 were clearly marked and surely there for all our sakes. Anyway, let's think about that. Do we know it was his car? It might have belonged to his employer. Would his boss have encouraged him to hammer his vehicle, knowing it would shorten the serviceable life of the car? What if more likely the car belonged to the bank? Yes, we don't like to think about it, but it's a fact that when we 'buy' things on Executive Wood Office Furniture71700 then they don't actually belong to us, not until they're paid off. 'His' car might be yet another consumer possession that the man was able to use, but hadn't quite paid for yet and therefore didn't actually own.

Fourthly, why was he in such a hurry anyway? Now, his employer might be involved at this stage. Maybe he had given the man orders about being at such-and-such a place, to meet a certain person at such a time. Me, I was ambling along because it was early afternoon. I had fulfilled my appointments for the day and was heading home. (The Teeth Whitening Print Advertising7734 of self-employment!) So, our 'boy racer', in his brand new car, isn't a person to be envied all that much, if his time is not his own, and he is 'racing' to perform business that won't actually make him rich and is someone else's priority.

What a disappointment! I may be guessing, but I think that young man in his shiny car was pretty full of himself. He was gunning the engine and assuming that other drivers were envying him, his flash motor and his fast-paced lifestyle. He would be horrified to hear that observers Hot Tub And Home Spa Consumer Reviews in reality, feeling sorry for him, the stresses placed upon him and the way he was wasting his time and energy. Sound familiar? How many of us want to be admired? There's an obvious way to get that. Just go out and do something worthwhile. It might be difficult, of course. But don't expect that you can take the easy way out and simply show off your glossy possessions for the populace in order to earn their admiration automatically. Their pity, maybe, but driving fast cars recklessly, as part of a non-stop, busy lifestyle, is simply a sign of bad time-keeping. Nothing to admire there.

The Yorkshire Terrier Is A Little Dog With A Big Attitude

Do you like a dog with attitude? Then a Yorkshire Terrier may just be the dog for you. Yorkies are sweet little dogs that love to cuddle, yet they think they are big and bad and will take on a German Shepherd without blinking an eye.

The Yorkshire Terrier is classified in the Toy group by the American Kennel Club. The AKC requires the Yorkie to be less than seven pounds but there is no minimum weight limit. Some Yorkshire Terriers can weigh as little as one pound, but in order to breed dogs this tiny, health is often sacrificed, so it is not a popular option.

Yorkies have beautiful long flowing coats of hair and they seem to glide across the floor, as their long hair hides their tiny feet. Yorkies can have silver or black hair with tan accents on the heads and legs. Yorkies are black and tan when first born.

Yorkies make excellent apartment dogs since they are small and thrive well with apartment life. The Yorkshire Terrier adapts well to outdoor living also, as they are inquisitive and love to explore. It is a good idea to make sure your fence has no holes or gaps or your Yorkie will find a way through. If you keep your Yorkie inside most of the time it is very important to his mental and physical health to get plenty of exercise.

Yorkies are very sociable and love being the center of attention. They enjoy an active family life; however, the Yorkshire Terrier is not a good choice for families with small children. The Yorkie is good natured and will endure poking and squeezing to the point where a small child can easily injure such a delicate dog.

Yorkies are small but can still develop big behavioral problems if not properly trained. Obedience classes are very important, in fact it could save your Yorkies life some day if he ever gets lose and runs towards traffic.

Yorkshire Terriers are a healthy breed and dont normally develop serious health conditions. They do show a tendency towards hernias, hypoglycemia, and dental problems.

Yorkies are small eaters so it wont be expensive to feed them. However, be careful not to spoil them with soft foods as Yorkies need dry food to keep their teeth healthy. You should also brush his teeth several times a week starting when he is a puppy so he gets used to it.

Most Yorkshire Terriers will require grooming at least three times a week to keep their lovely long hair from matting.

So if you are looking for a little dog with a lot of spunk, then look no further than a Yorkshire Terrier.
