I have finally mastered new tricks for the half-pipe: the poptart, the barrel roll, and the miller flip.</span>
Have you ever wondered what you'd take out of your house in a burning fire? I have. I've often thought about what I'd save if I could only choose a few items. I think first I'd take the children's pictures my parents have saved since our childhoods. Next, I'd grab my old cigar box. It's filled with all my friend's gifts and keepsakes, which are real treasures for me. My parent's letters would come with me too, and my dog's comfort items. I couldn't forget my CD collection and my sister's things. She's at college, so she'd be furious if I didn't remember to take her precious items. We'd need food and water, so we'd have the ability to survive, and blankets, first aid kit and flashlights would be helpful too. We'd put the dog in the car, of course, and the cat, and the four of us. We couldn't forget the Smiths, our neighbours, just in case the fire spread and hmmmm I think we'd need a moving van! Let's just hope we never need to evacuate.
<span>Possibly one of the oldest urban legends still being told the story tells of a motorist who picks up a female hitchhiker on a lonely stretch of road. He then drives her home only to find that she has disappeared from his backseat. After knocking on her door he is told the girl died in a car accident years ago in the very same spot that he picked her up. </span>
