Should cities offer free Wi-Fi

    Should cities offer free Wi-Fi? Well, I think so. Wi-Fi is very important to our every day lives. I homeschool and I do computer school. If we had to pay for Wi-Fi, then I would probably still be doing paces. 
    We use Wi-Fi all the time. My mother uses it every single day. If we had to pay for it, then I don't know if we would be using it at all! I am so glad that Wi-Fi is free and we don't have to pay for it.

Dry Cleaning as a Substitute for Doing Your Own Laundry

     You will not believe what I saw on the internet. A $20,000 washing machine! That is so much money. Now, the average American household does not own a $20,000 washing machine, but they are still pretty expensive. The average cost of a washing machine and dryer combo is between 2,000 and 3,000 dollars.

    Now, would you be willing to pay that much money? If you are, then think about how much money you would be spending if you were spending it on your washing machine, water, detergent, and a lot more. Just going to dry cleaning is so much easier. They clean, wash, and iron your clothes for you. That's still a lot of money for anybody.

Why Thunderstorms are Dangerous

     2,000 people die every year from thunderstorms. Many people die from getting hit by thunder bolts. 3 weeks ago, six people died because of a forest fire caused by a thunderstorm. There are so many people who die because of thunderstorms.  2 weeks ago, a man was killed in his car by a tree falling on it because of a lightning bolt striking the tree.

    Thunderstorms also cause flash flooding because of heavy rain. Many people die because of flash flooding. Several people died because of drowning in floods caused by thunderstorms. Thunderstorms even cause high winds which can kill you if you are not paying attention. You've got to be careful during a thunderstorm or you'll end up like one of the people who died because of a thunderstorm.

Good things that became of John Lehrer's heart attack

    In an autobiography called A Bus of My Own written by John Lehrer, Lehrer had a heart attack. However, thankfully, he survived the attack and started to make a list of changes he would make in his life. The heart attack was actually good for him. Before the heart attack he was doing a lot of bad things, like smoking and eating badly. Having a heart attack changed his beliefs about all of the bad things he has been doing. 

    Before his heart attack he smoked all the time. He wrote that instead of throwing away the butts of the cigarettes he smoked, he kept them in a shoe box in case he wanted to smoke the rest out of the cigarettes he kept. He even smoked his way to the hospital in an ambulance with his pipe. That just shows how dedicated he was to smoking. 

    He wrote down that he would change his diet. This is what he said. "There was the food problem. The eating thing. I had had the eating habits of a pimply-faced fifteen-year-old. My daily preferred diet was drawn from a preferred option list of fritos, cheez Whiz, chili, pepperoni pizza, Milky Ways, Butterfinger chips, peanut butter (chunky); hamburgers with fries, tuna-salad sandwiches with fries, bacon-lettuce-and-tomato sandwiches with fries, fried chicken with fries, barbecue ribs, beef and/or sausage with fries; Dr. Peppers, chocolate chip ice cream, butter brickle ice cream, real potato chips, cottage-fried potatoes; scrambled egg with melted cheese, green peppers and onions; chocolate milk shakes, corn dogs, chilli dogs; biscuits with butter, waffles with hot maple syrup and butter, pancakes with hot maple syrup and butter; salt, fudge, black coffee, and pastrami sandwiches with mayonnaise." Instead of those bad foods he decided to eat good foods. This is what he said. "Carrot and celery sticks with a  nonfat yogurt dip. Melba toast. Vegetarian baked beans. Cute little cups of raspberries and strawberries and blueberries. Apples. Great glasses of orange juice. Decaf coffee. Water cornbread. Green beans. Peas. Peas! Spinach casseroles. Caffeine-free diet soda pop. Unbuttered, unsalted popcorn. Toasted pita bread. Oatmeal. Oatmeal!"

    He also said that he would exercise a lot. In the hospital workout room every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at seven he workout to get his heart back in shape. He also wrote down that he would take a nap every single day. Those two things did help get his heart back in shape. He even said that he will  never again get angry. He also made a list of bus signs he would then go after. Here is the list. Overland Greyhound, Bowen Motor Coaches, Southeastern Stages, American Buslines, and Dixie-Sunshine Trailways. There were even two men there that helped him rebuild his soul. Charlie Berman and Harry Smith. Lehrer was actually a really good person. After his heart attack, Lehrer was a completely changed man. Lehrer died in the year 2020, the year I wrote this essay!

The War of the Worlds Chapter 11.5 The War in the Pacific

    Now, there was an American Army Fleet on patrol about ten miles from the nearest land. Suddenly, there was a crackle on the radio." What is it ?" asked the captain. "I don't know ", said the sergeant. "I've never heard anything like it before." "Replay it please," said the captain. The sergeant replayed the sound on the radio."Sergeant" said the captain "I'd like to see you and the lieutenant in my quarters in five minutes."


    Five minutes later, the captain, the sergeant, and the lieutenant are in the captain's quarters discussing what they have received over the radio. The captain started the discussion by saying "a little over five minutes ago, we received an unidentified radian signal. I called this meeting to discuss what it means and where it came from." "Maybe we caught a new enemy broadcasting signals," said the lieutenant. "No, that can't be," said the captain, this is new." The sergeant and lieutenant look at each other with scared expressions on their faces. "Please don't tell me what I think your thinking," said the sergeant. The captain looked at his desk and said"aliens." Just then a crewman came down and said"Sirs, you better come see this." The four of them went up to the deck. There was a large speck in the distance. The Captain looked through his telescope at the speck. What he saw was something that looked like an alien starship. Then little starships came out of the big one. "What is it?" asked the sergeant. "Just as I suspected," said the captain "aliens, battle stations everyone!" 


    All Martian ships had a metallic look. They both had two lasers, one on each wing. The ships had a torpedo look. The Martian ships their attack on the smallest ship and destroyed it. "Launch all jets!" commanded the captain. The aircraft carrier launched all jets as the captain had commanded. Soon, there was an aircraft war in the skies with half of the enemy's ships. The other half attacked the ships. "Focus all fire on the enemy starships!" commanded the captain. All battleships fired on the enemy starships as the captain had commanded. The enemy ships destroyed the aircraft carrier and two-thirds of the fleet and one-quarter of all the jets. "Sir, we have to retreat," said the sergeant. "Yes," said the captain, "get me the submarine. Five minutes later he was in the submarine headed away from the battle. The captain kept  thinking in the submarine, "Who or what can stop these horrible beasts?"
