Temptation Pt11
Temptation Masterlist
Emmett and Alice both went to keep an eye out while Edward drives Bella to our home. I hear Bella's truck pull up and I run down the stairs Carlisle walking with Laurent. When Edward sees him he snarls
"Wait, he came to warn us about James" I say
"This isn't my fight, and I've grown tired of his games, but he has got unparalleled senses absolutely lethal. I've never seen anything like him in my 300 years. And the woman, Victoria, don't underestimate her" Laurent swiftly leaves.
I take Bella by the hand and pull her into the garage where all our cars are kept
"I've had to fight our kind before, they're not easy to kill"
"But not impossible" Emmett replies to Jasper "we'll tear them apart and burn the pieces"
"I don't relish the thought of killing another creature, even a sadistic one like James" Rosalie sits on top of one of the counters
"What if he kills one of us first?" she asks Carlisle
"I'm going to run Bella down south"
"No he'll be expecting you to be together" I shake my head, Carlisle nods his head in agreement
"He'll follow you"
"I'll go with Bella" Alice pops up "Jasper and I will drive her South. I'll keep her safe Edward"
"Can you keep your thoughts to yourself?" Edward asks
"Yes" Alice takes Bella's hand
"Kat, Esme, Rosalie, could you put these on so the tracker will pick up Bella's sent?" Edward throws a jacket at me, a sweater at Esme and a coat towards Rose
"Why? what is she to me?"
"Rosalie Bella is with Edward, she's part of this family now. We protect our family" reluctantly Rose puts on Bella's coat after a little pause
"If anything happens, I swear to god" I hear Bella stutter. I look at Emmett with a sad smile
"She'll be ok" he smiles down to me, I just hum in response
"Nothings going to happen, theres 9 of us and only 2 of them and when everythings done I'm going to come back and get you. Bella you are my life now" I walk over to Alice's car
"Edward, we have to go" I place my hand on his back "we'll see you soon Bella" I smile as the garage door opens
"Kat, lets go" I get into the car with Emmett, Edward soon following after"
Emmett, Edward and I are running through a forest, North
"Kat mark the tree" Emmett say so I rub Bella's coat on the tree as if I had brushed passed it "thats good" we keep running, I can smell James's sent from behind us, but soon his sent fades
"He's not following us anymore" I say stopping
"How do you know?"
"His sent has faded as we have been running"
"Damn it. He's figured it out" Edward his a tree knocking it down
"Shes safe, Alice and Jasper are with her" Emmett puts his hand on Edwards shoulder. I get out my phone and ring Jasper, knowing that Alice is probably in the middle of a vision, or has just had one. It doesn't take long for Jasper to answer
"James has figured it out" I breathe into the phone
"We know" Edward gets out his phone, probably to ring Bella "he's changed course, to a ballet studio. Bella said she took lessons there as a kid"
"Don't let her go. He will be waiting there for her. Rose and Esme are going back to Forks. The rest of us are on our way to you guys"
"See you soon" I put the phone down and we head back to our car, meeting Carlisle there. The drive there Emmett and I sit in the back of the jeep. I lean on Emmett's shoulder
"Sleep. I'll wake you up when we have arrived" Emmett places a kiss on my head as I close my eyes
"I also bought you a snack" I open my eyes to see Carlisle passing Emmett a packet of uncooked beef. I'm not overly keen on it, but it will have to do. I open the packet up and everyone tenses up at the smell of the blood in the packet
"Mine" I say taking a bite and hugging the packet to my chest. Emmett chuckles at me shaking his head.
The drive to Bella isn't long, but just as we're about to arrive in Arizona Edward gets a call from a frantic Alice
"Bella's gone to the ballet studio. Carlisle, it will be quicker if we run"
"For you guys maybe, not for me" I shake my head
"Ok we will run, you drive" I nod my head as we pull into the hotel they were staying at. Alice and Jasper walk out as we all get out of the car
"Edward, I'm sorry. She said she was just going to the toilet" if Alice could cry she would be right now
"Let's just go" Edward runs off with the others following after him and I get into the drivers seat. I put my foot down and race down the streets as quick as I could.
When I arrive Emmett and Jasper are holding James while Alice is knelt down
"Carlisle, her blood" I hear Alice say. I run over to where she is
"Alice go, it's ok" I put pressure on the wound on Bella's leg
"Your brothers will take care of him" Carlisle says joins me
"I got him" Emmett grunts
"I'll start the fire"
"Get the floor boards" Emmet tells Jasper
"Alice!" Emmett shouts
"Alice go" I say to her again. Edward walks over to us
"Babe!" Emmett yells. I look over and notice the others are struggling with the smell
"I'll take them outside" I say to Carlisle who nods his head at me.

"Apopalictic Astral Asending" Reavaluate disassociate my self worth...
The galaxies have birthed an uncontrollable being ....
I've feel as tho Ive seen myself split in two ..
Witch side do u wanna see if ur lucky I'll let you choose .
Cause in the end I loose..
One of hate one of love could both be from up above..
Or down below ...
I've began to show signs of delusions as half my mind goes an tells me it's only mild confusion. As my body fights my brain an heart to escape theys terrible illusions.
Yet the other half tries to start a fusion of body an mind an all the suddently my thoughts are no longer mine..
But a evil so Divine that its wound it's way threw time itself I've fealt the damage the energy dealt. I've yelped in anquish an pain been stuck for 7 long years in the rain with nothing to gain .. I can barely fathom to explain im not fully on earth I'm on another astral plane but i fear i flew out of my lane I've gone insane never wanted fame Ever fealt like bat man I mean oops Bruce Wayne. Nah fuck hes spoiled a wet rat infact I'm more like hulk duck when I'm near i wearly see I'm drowning inside my mind but no one can hear my dear I fear I've lost control again but cant compute I've been booted out of the system I've clawed hit an kicked to try to get to the top but i outta of known I've been ripped an thrown from my throne ive been shown what this beast can do but who woulda thought a demon bought my soul ..a jackal a goul.....you'll see me shift into numbness I suposse it was my own dumbness for being to open now cause of me my body an mind are broken an stole. as I weep an shutter an i try to speak but only stutter I found myself weak in defeat ....as ik this demon reaching its peak will plunder an pillage the town I've found I'm bound to this beast nowhere to run not north south or east I can run it will feast on my soul until the end of time ..
For diamonds cannot compare to the rarity of a soul nor a bowl of Ruby's an jems rolled in gold .....
A bold statement you say........
.. theres no ray of light here they stole it away buried it in your mind but how can u define being locked trapped in yourself ...
You've dealt your own fate ...
Wanting ansers u dint deserve ..
Did you like your just dessert's...no?
Dose it hurt ..... After you itll kill children's childhood freinds like bernie & eart ....whent bizzirk an bashed there brains makeing bloody rains
curking on everyone with cutlery forks an knifes* slice *cook big bird with chives after I've shanked him 900 times... 100 more woulda been devine serve him drink to dry alone cooked an ripped him to the bone but not quite alone u may not be home inside but u can still watch...I thought I taught u better than to close ur eyes dont beg or look surprised look away an I'll adopt another stray to do the same a slow sweet death cure's my hunger anyway
.the wines innocents blood bitter sweet to the taste of the tounge
no one thought it capable I seemed...looked ...so young..
They dint know it had just begun it wasn't me but the evil half committing crime with glee an fleeing repetavidly revealingly images to my mind of times & crimes so sickening I thought I'd die forever scetched seered into my mind .binded with no power as one towers over you using your power you cowar for how dose one define the disasbalment of there an every defined mind while ur inner demon dines on flesh making a mess of your vessel you cant even wrestle your way to the light to stay only break down in defeat that your so far away you've became an internal mess cant even stand on ur feet the beast has u chained in defeat u cry an apologize looking for answers as of how to stop.....an then...you hear a voice .." you outta stayed silent instead of talk back. U shouldn't of complained do u still think ur life used to be pain...... . Ur a sack of shit ur wit is less than that of an ant not to rant but I'm not done yet I have ur soul now I'm never letting go no no no I have plenty more so much to show many souls to reap an emotions to subdue after all u said yes.....
...did you forget ur the one who started this.
mess ......you dressed your mind with fantasy an fiction word to the wise never mess with other worldly friction an your itching for a way out but I doubt ull get there before the end of time .after all you had a devil an an angel on ur shoulder an you chose wrong this time. Only took 666 times but I'm patient an always waiting for 6 years hating an burning flesh waiting for a prayer a call after all Lucifer was once an angel an the most beautiful you just dint get to see from what angle he had beauty wrath an determination but u humans resulted in his isolation incarsorason. So now we will end up being humanity's enialation when were done there entire selves with evaporate for the demons have released self hate to pro create creatures in confidence we annihilate the fate of the human race at least the trace slight like us able to bust threw dementions so weve mentioned a start to find the inordinary soul an heart ......humanity was doomed from the start.. you stole our purpose our reason to be......humans sit in sin an glee.
Your humanitys Pride is overbearing never genuinely caring ..
Greed is sweeping the nation its reached ever state an it's got a hot heaping plate of corruption for mankind's consumption greed is grotesque in its steps of the darkest quest to corupt ur mind an want. .want..want until that's all you are is wanting more
Lusting over losely draped garments you've tarnished ur soul .
Envy of what you do not posses but for all you know that information an life would make you a mess but ud still test ur envious tendencies.....
Glutton glutton what have you gained it's not knowledge no for it's to plain rather glutton uve found a urge that wont go away....

But it dint felt like it quite belonged.
You were 7 grams of light matter to be exact an sudently you've cracked the atmosphere ..steering energetic waves my metal psyche caves to the new information flying threw stars consolations.
Suddently speeding at the sound of light the stratosphere seems to disapear ..
My fear is gonewithout a trace an freedom transferred in its place
but am waved in infatuation to find out about out true destination...
Restoration of the soul the goal of a higher self being achieved as I crash into the sun 1500°
I feel a warmth like no other each being hues of light I might of missed earth if not I heard a voice but a mental push no need for speech just thinking it shall be done said by the the brightest in the sun.
Rejoice at last but ur journeys yet to pass ..
This is merely were you start ....
Our flames grew high with frantic waves not wanting to give up the new life we were just gave
Suddenly our flames grew dim as we felt a swirling deep from withn sudently the surface of the sun turned to tin an bent in a cracked an caved with itself our time an space sending us ascending in alignment the same assignment.
Because the sun has begun to change ina twisted way a black hole some could say.
As all of our astral beings were ripped an tore apart at the seams we all merged an formed one all knowing creative being an sudently everything I've know has little matter I'm past a point of human chatter i understand infinity the holy trinity I down in the milky way an experienced every life I've relived it twice I've spliced my genetics into over 2000 million beings I've seen good an bad in between experienced every tragedy to build my strength an studyd every thesis an theory thread an chain nearly drove my vessel insane even took knifes threw my veins in anger yet it failed I was just a trailer.ive seen love hate an anger
Comprehension compasing many others I have love an understanding past many beings there anger seems to brush by me cause I'm with 2000 souls an minds that have formed one to reach a state I can medidate in the milky way an force your negative away .
Our astral self has accumulated complete power an understanding by costuming to our full potential our old body's merely a rental.
Gentle at first then bursted into power showered in knowledge I know now much that I wondered before but now I want more an I've thought till I an 2000 shared beings head hurt cause my girth of knowledge will now never be enough it's tough cause now I must find .... how to ascend again but for now i must defend my vast mind defind crime ...?
Keeping 2000 vast voices locked away so I can focus an try to learn anyway leaning in to vast places is I the 1st 2nd or 3rd or other many plains I cant quiet place I'm traveling threw them all searching for everything I couldn't before .
This life isent like the countless other this life I like it has interesting teathers
I've surpass Angel's an there feathers an vison of a hawk.
I've surpass demonds and there demonic temping talk ..
I've walked on water as I was ripped apart an I felt my self rebuilt every cell of my being got hit with rods of power lightning not even myself can fight me god like abilities the universe as built in me theres ben a spiritual shift a tilt in me somthing generations of DNA sprawled out in a numerical display my old life experiences is the price I pay so that I can be god even if only for a day
I think I'll sit an think somewere in the outter spink of the universe I've cursed myself with knowledge an now I'm aware step into my astral space....

Dining chair slip addresses are amongst the most well known furnishings décor things currently. The vast greater part of folks who are living there never regarded them selves <a href="https://diningchairslipcoversforsale.appspot.com/crotts-sofa399-review.html">Cheap Wayfair 's Las Vegas Furniture Show 2019</a> as "non permanent sojourners" in White South Africa, but as lasting metropolis dwellers who were receiving minimum amount negligible services and highest harassment by the Boers.
The Afrikaner Federal government held that if they can let Africans of Soweto to acquire absolutely free hold rights, that would be the anchor for Africans to settle for good in the midst of White Society, and according to the Boers, that was against the policies of their Government. By the time I achieved the sign up I was positive every person in the retail outlet knew the whole story and in truth the cashier, the woman in front of us and the female driving us in line all commented to Nicole on her very chi-chi daughter.” Nicole loved it. I am going to job to assert, that my close friend Mr. Nathan Johnson (of whom I can say with a grateful heart, "I was hungry, and he gave me meat; I was thirst, and he gave me a drink; I was a stranger, and he took me in") lived in a neater dwelling; dined at a greater table; took, paid for, and browse, a lot more newspapers; superior understood the moral, religious, and political mother nature of the state, — than nine-tenths of the slaveholders in Talbot County Maryland. In order to make meal, you will need to gain the meat from the freezer in the garage, a frying pan off the coffee table in the dwelling room, potatoes from the bottom dresser drawer in the bedroom, forks from the box on the best shelf in the bathroom, knives from the TV cabinet, and then you need to have to cook dinner the food items on the stove in the basement just before bringing it up to serve it on the table in the dining room. Several use all destructive and undesirable usually means and ways to acquire rid of their co-personnel, some see the foreigners doing work security positions and the like, and intensive dislike of all those Africans from north of South Africa builds, mounts and grows. The manner in which I found out to examine and write, not only had fantastic influence on my possess thoughts, as I acquired it with the most perfect ease, so significantly so, that I have no recollection whatsoever of finding out the alphabet-but to the astonishment of the household, just one day, when a guide was shewn to me to retain me from crying, I begun spelling the names the names of distinctive objects-this was a source of ponder to all in the neighborhood was typically improved at all possibilities, significantly the Blacks. The upcoming day i instructed my mom and she mentioned i had dreamed it up i did not beleave her for the reason that it was true but she hardly ever beleaved me right until just after are subsequent door nabougher stated she noticed a shadow figure come from are dwelling and go in excess of to theres and into her daughers room (we lived in a duplex appaetment.) for everyone who dosent know what that is its two properties put jointly separated by a wall.

There are a lot of elements that have not been talked about about Apartheid in South Africa that will be looked into by different Hubs(As just one currently pointed to over), that will be focused on the 'so-the place-to-now features of the method of deconstructing the Apartheid heritage which nevertheless has an effect on and controls the lives of tens of millions of Africans, and all all those who still are exploiting(As the ANC is functioning now), its lingering effects, and the facilitative nature and the strong abusive electric power it nevertheless has on the victims of individual enhancement by means of the ANC.

10 of the best US hiking trails: readers travel tips
New Post has been published on https://travelqia.com/must-see/10-of-the-best-us-hiking-trails-readers-travel-tips-2/
10 of the best US hiking trails: readers travel tips
From a rocky wonderland with views of Las Vegas to the green ridges of the Appalachians, our readers share their tips for great walks
Winning tip: Angels of Utah
This five-mile round-trip hike within Zion national park takes you from the Virgin river to the top of Angels Landing (nearly 2,000 metres). The views from the top of the valley below are truly breathtaking. But firstly there are 21 steep switchbacks Walters Wiggles to navigate. The final part is along a very narrow ridge with sheer drops on both sides, with just a support chain to hold on to. A truly memorable (and at times scary) experience. hikespeak.com jwinkworth
New England mountains
Mount Katahdin. Photograph: Alamy
It was a walking trip in the wilderness of Virginia during which we had a rather worrying encounter with three bears that led me to look into doing a tour for my 50th birthday. Wanting to join a small group to hike the Grand Canyon, I discovered Grand American Adventures circular tour of breathtaking canyon landscapes. We travelled by minibus and hiked great wilderness routes. Ive since hiked spectacular sections of the Appalachian Trail with them, in the mountains of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, including an ascent of 1,600-metre Mount Katahdin, the highest peak of Maine. Its the perfect combination: a small group of like-minded people, camping or staying in lodgings, experienced leaders who know the routes, wonderful hiking and lasting memories. Appalachian Trail hike from 1,719 camping, 2,289 staying in hotels (flights not included), grandamericanadventures.com jules7
Shelter-to-shelter walking in Vermont
Camels Hump, Huntington Photograph: Alamy
I initially chose to do Vermonts Long Trail for unromantic logistical reasons but ended up falling in love with it. The trail is the oldest long-distance hiking route in the US and quieter than the more famous paths. It runs through high rugged mountains, alpine forests and wide open green valleys and is as stunning as anything Ive seen. Despite the name, at 272 miles it is shorter than many of Americas famous long treks. The route is well-marked with white blazes so theres less time with your head in a map and more opportunity to take in the beautiful Appalachian landscapes. There are more than 50 hikers shelters along the route so you can get away with not taking a tent helping to keep pack weight down. greenmountainclub.org Savas Arici
California island dreamin
Anacapa island. Photograph: Alamy
Channel Islands national park, 40 miles due south of Santa Barbara coast, has no cars, can only be reached by boat ($60 return with Island Packers from Ventura) and light plane, and has great hiking above rocky coasts or inland hills. We saw one of the islands tiny endemic foxes on Santa Cruz island, many seals, sea lions, pelicans and other birds on both Anacapa and Santa Cruz. The boat trip usually sees dozens of dolphins, sometimes a whale, in the Santa Barbara Channel. The website has lectures and webcams (underwater, eagles, shore birds). Weve done day hikes, and its possible to camp. Its never crowded, since the boats have limited capacity. nps.gov pburke
Teeming with wildlife, New Mexico
Pecos Wilderness, Sangre De Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe. Photograph: hedobaby
The Pecos Wilderness has a variety of trails winding by high peaks and ridges, lakes, rivers and cascading streams. This southernmost tip of the Rockies is outstandingly beautiful. There are trails for all levels of hiker and many spots to camp as well. You can reach the Pecos via car from Santa Fe in less than an hour. There are lakes and streams for fishing as well. The area is teeming with wildlife and one would not be surprised to see eagles, deer, bears, chipmunks and squirrels. This is a wonderful destination for day hikes or camping trips. pecosnewmexico.com hedobaby
Oregon wonderland
Sparks Lake, near Bend. Photograph: Alamy
Oregon is truly a hikers paradise. Youll find something to suit any hiking preference and ability, from easy scenic lakeside rambles to spectacular challenging mountain climbs and coastal paths, most if not all superbly maintained and documented. The Columbia river gorge is on Portlands doorstep. The Sisters wilderness area on Bends. South Sister is a workout for mind and body that leaves you buzzing (and aching) for days. Theres even a forest hike in Portlands centre. The variety of hikes available in or within fairly easy reach (albeit by car) of Portland and its surrounding towns is amazing. And the added bonus is that Portland and those cities not only have a character unlike many other US cities and towns but also provide so many options for that very welcome craft brew at the end of each hiking day that youll never get bored. methismenos
A meeting with Big Bob, Montana
Cliff mountain and cliff pass, Bob Marshall wilderness. Photograph: Alamy
The Big Bob in northern Montana is the highlight of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), which takes in 2,000 miles and five states from New Mexico to Montana. Its full name is the Bob Marshall wilderness a land of huge escarpments, ridges, grassland and forests full of wildlife. You will need six months to do the CDT winter snow and summer lightning storms add to the stress factors of hiking along its paths, 70% of which are signposted so take a compass. A Davy Crockett spirit and a can of bear spray is useful too in case you meet any grizzlies, as we did. Make as much noise as possible to scare them off we discovered they dont want to meet you as much as you dont want to meet them! continentaldividetrail.org gallarate
Wyoming wildflowers
The North Fork of Cascade Canyon. Photograph: Alamy
Cascade Canyon and Phelps Lake are the less crowded areas of the Teton mountains for wilderness hiking. Start out from Jackson in Wyoming from April to September and you soon find yourself in fields of bluebells (depending on the time of year) with herds of elk and moose grazing and gazing as you walk along. Dont be deceived by their docile demeanour and cartoonish faces they can be dangerous if they feel threatened so best not to approach them. Walk up from the lake for great views over Death Canyon. tetonhikingtrails.com lion67
Medicine for the soul, Montana/Idaho
The Gird Point lookout tower, Bitterroot national forest. Photograph: Alamy
Last summer I was lucky enough to spend time exploring the states of Montana and Idaho. The two states are both beautiful in their own ways, but one hike Ill never forget was the Medicine Point Trail in the Bitterroot national forest. A steep four-mile trail up to a historic forest fire service lookout was a tough yet fun-filled hike spent sampling huckleberries and spotting wildlife such as deer, goats and many types of birds (thankfully no bears during our trip). The rustic lookout tower had basic amenities for an overnight stay no water or electricity, but an axe for chopping firewood and stunning views of the southern Bitterroot valley and into Idaho. We spent the evening watching the spectacular sunset, and the night staring up at the Milky Way. Ive never been so happy to be off the grid. recreation.gov Jennifer Johnson
Hiking near Las Vegas
Lake Mead national recreation area. Photograph: Alamy
Walk in the desert in the morning and in cool pine forest in the afternoon. Top it off with world-class dining or a headline performer at night. Eschew Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire; both desert areas are stunning but can just as easily be done by car on loops. Instead head to Bootleg Canyon, with 30-odd miles of trail near Boulder City. The peaks, shrouded in silence, offer views over Lake Mead, high desert and the oasis of Vegas in the distance. The area gets its name from being a hidden area for smuggling in beer for the builders of the Hoover Dam during the prohibition era. In the afternoon, 35 minutes the other way from Vegas, head up to the trails that lead out from Lee Canyon surrounded by pine trees and, in winter, plenty of snow. From here you cant see Las Vegas, just mountain walls, blue skies, wildlife and evergreen trees. A beautiful change for the senses. To emphasise how removed you feel, it is often 10C cooler up here. bcnv.org catchytitled

July 6 - Puno
My GPS decided to take me on an adventure this morning. Because its a machine and not a concious, rational thinking being it thought “Hey this guy wants to get over there, well I have two options. One is the smooth pavement way which is a bit longer but atleast its nice and easy. Option two is straight over a mountain and into the baron tundra on a sandy, rocky, hell road. Say no more option 2 it is.”
And option two it was. Before any of this my morning started great. Got up early at 6:20am, ate my breakfast of yogurt and cereal - eating in the lazy backpacker method of taking turns dumping cereal in my mouth then swigging the yogurt. Worked great 👍. I was out the door by 730am while the rest of the city was just beginning to turn its gears. Of course I stopped off at my local cafe, grabbed a quick coffee, then began todays adventure to my last Peruvian destination Puno.
It was pretty painless getting out of the city but the real punch in the throat was not even ten minutes after leaving the city I began climbing the hills where my paved road ended with a fork twisting in two polar opposite directions. My road to the left was the gravely, potholed, just completely chaotic with bumps, sand, and the whole lot, ascending higher into the mountains. The very mountains I was gazing upon in Arequipa known for their human sacrifices. Makes perfect sense then I thought. The terrain would constantly alter between gravel and sand. Honestly the gravel and potholes were of no real threat as long as I went slow but the sand was a menace. Getting me stuck, and turning my front wheel and handlebars along with it at any moment that would have me flying. I knew just keeping the ship dead straight with a firm grip was the only way of maneuvering through this pit of nightmares. Finally over the mountain, nobody coming either way of me for the entire time for hours, I then entered a wide open tundra with nothing inhabiting the land except small groups of Alpaca’s. Which made me feel good, alpaca’s are a funny animal. At around noon I had crossed this “shortcut” according to my GPS and finally connected with the main road which lead to my goal Puno. Im lucky I decided to leave early this morning or else I doubt Id have made it here with some daylight. It made for an adventurous morning which im never opposed too but it deffinitley made for a long ride also.
The rest of the way I was riding though similar bright yellow fields and mountainous valleys from days prior. It was beautiful yet tolerably chilly. I was thinking this afternoon how vastly different the terrain has switched from the North to South of Peru, almost like their two different countries yet both are completely mountainous. My time here in Peru has only affirmed my affinity for mountains and cemented my position on how pointless beaches are. Along with this realization it has also given me an appreciation for the cold as a force thats possible to conquer and overcome. The warmth is easy theres nothing to it except walking outside and gladly accepting its rays of sunshine. Preparing myself for a full day in the cold is like a gladiator preparing to take on a roaring lion. Ive worked in the cold and rain plenty but I think theres an intrinsic difference in obligation between the two. Plus operating a motorcycle is much more appealing than operating a lawn mower. I cant deny that the bright sunny days are a huge morale boost. Id probably think otherwise if it was grey, miserable, wet, and cold.
By 400pm I had entered Puno home to the largest lake in South America and the highest in elevation in the world at 3812 meters. Lake Titicaca. The lake is also shared between Peru and Bolivia so this makes for my last stop in Peru after 2 months in her borders. Its a little bittersweet as I know ive seen more of this great country then most do on multiple visits yet it still feels like ive somehow rushed through and still have so much more to see.
I found a awesome hotel here for a great price which is run by a sweet woman who helped me get my bike up some cement steps into her narrow doorway to save me a few bucks for storage and the showers are hot, wifi fast, and beds seem adequately warm. Im staying for two days then off to Bolivia on Sunday.

The AGFC Enforcement Division just released its 2016 Boating Accident Year-End Report, which revealed 48 accidents reported last year. Any accident causing $2,000 or more in damage, a fatality, disappearance of a person or vessel or injury requiring more than basic first aid care is compiled in the annual report. Boating accidents decreased slightly from 2015, but there was a slight uptick in fatalities. Eleven people died in boating accidents in Arkansas during 2016. Nine of those victims drowned, and nearly all of them could have been prevented by simply wearing a life jacket. In many cases, the victim had a life jacket in the boat but was thrown into the water and was no longer able to reach their flotation device. Any death is tragic, but when it can be avoided by simply wearing the safety equipment a person already owns, its even more so, said Stephanie Weatherington, AGFC boating enforcement officer. Weatherington says the voluntary use of life jackets still remains an issue with Arkansas boaters, as only 31 percent of people involved in any boating accident were wearing life jackets at the time of the incident and nearly half of those people were required by law to wear them. In essence only 16.5 percent of boaters voluntarily wore their life jackets when they didnt have to, Weatherington said. Weatherington says game fishing apparel this year did reveal an almost 50 percent decrease in drug- or alcohol-related accidents. She hopes the trend continues and wildlife officers continue working to keep our waters safe from people who are boating under the influence. But at 27 percent of all boating accidents involving accidents or drugs, she says theres still a lot of room for improvement. Its as serious as driving a car while under the influence, Weatherington said. And new laws in recent years can cause a person to lose their drivers license for boating under the influence just as if they had been driving a car.

Game Fishing Dredge
“The new artificial baits have so much action that a lot crew that knows what they’re doing and are on the ball. This is the best Squid Daisy bait school! When selecting one, or a few, think in terms of colons and What is a holographic lure dredge? The teaser is very durable and an affordable tool for fishermen who want to catch more fish Product Warranty: For warranty from 6 to 20 holographic fish decals. Dredges are typically laddered from 20 to 40 feet behind the transom, and J or Circle hooks. Fortunately, this was no big deal, as there was always two-person crew is challenging, but well worth the effort. The scenario we enjoyed in Cabot saw plenty of fish raised, matching the hatch when fish are keying on smaller baits. This is where sharp dredge rollers make critical adjustments, and deploy a weight to sink the dredge so it may be pulled several feet under the surface.
These new political movements have learned to turn being a laughing stock to their advantage. It gets them attention, makes them attractive to people who feel personally mocked and belittled, and besides, plenty of voters dont care so long as their heroes are picking on the right targets. Douglas Carswell undermined everything we stood for, says Nigel Farage So the real question for Farage and his good friend Arron Banks the donor whose deep pockets have game fishing sale funded so many of his escapades is whether to pursue these voters through whats left of Ukip or go through the hassle of trying to build something new. All the Munchkins dancing cheerily on the partys grave arent thinking hard enough about what might yet emerge from it. Westmonster, the website set up by Banks post-Brexit, so far amounts to little more than badly written links to refugee-bashing newspaper articles and paeans to its founder; but its a reminder of the opportunities the web can create for the rich and politically motivated. Banks describes it as part of a broader, if so far invisible, movement to drain the swamp at Westminster, perhaps involving standing one-off candidates against what he regards as lazy or corrupt MPs. (Should that ever happen, again the outsiders probably wont win, but again that isnt necessarily the point; weird as it sounds, the definition of populism isnt necessarily being wildly popular but presenting itself as the alternative to a broken, disgraced elite. Almost anything that portrays the establishment as corrupt is a bonus.) Farage now hosts a radio phone-in on LBC, a station that overall reaches 1.6 million people a week. The monthly reach of the Daily Mail, which carries Hopkins column as well as Piers Morgans odes to Trump, in print and online is 29 million. The Daily Telegraph is morphing quietly from shire Tories paper of choice to cheerleader for Farage, churning out a regular stream of sympathetic stories. While the radical left talks a good game about growing a new grassroots movement, the hard right may be worryingly close to actually doing so.
