Janice blamed the accident all on her dog for accidentally knocking over the gun.

"That damn dog shot me in the leg! I was relaxing and eating my pork chops!" Janice said.

The bullet shot through her leg and almost hit the gas tank. Things could have been real bad if it had hit the gas tank. Janice was very lucky, She could have died.

"Janice should be thankful it did not hit the gas tank and she did not die." says Tammy Rye.

Janice thinks there is a reason the bullet landed inches from the gas tank. She has a theory about her near death experience.

"Since I am 53 years old, god has a plan for me, his plan is for me to at least have two more years to live. Since the bullet was two inches away from mw dying." Janice said.

Janice has no use for her dog anymore since she thinks it tried to kill her. She decided to give to the animal control officers.

CE 2.1

1.The board was giving free weekend tickets to people who aren't even excited to go to ACL makes could cause conflict with other people wanted to go and wondering why they don't get tickets for free and a 71 year old gets tickets and she doesn't even want to go.
2. Tom is trying to send the message that only the mothers love and care for there kids and that the dads only care about money and that the fathers should be paying more time with there kids and not at work. The mom is the only one raising the kid in the family and he doesn't have a father figure.
3. The UT professor did not return to teaching since he was scared of his safety at his school.
4. There is a new marketplace starting with artisans for Amazon and local Austin artists.
5. The new mental gear is rated so highly since there is nothing like it out and it is no longer intimidating to newcomers. So kids and people who have never played before can since understand and have fun like other who have.


1.There are many reasons that this industry has seen so much growth one of the main reasons in that people are working late and a lot and they feel so tired and can't find time or the energy to go somewhere making to quicker and easier to just ordering thing where they don't have to move or go somewhere to get something.
2. My mom uses amazon and amazon prime a lot since its easier to find things and you don't have to worrying about finding time to drive somewhere and it end up not even being there when you can just order it online so much faster. Since you don't have to run through the whole store and you could end up not finding anything anyways.
3. It is being targeted by millennial shoppers since more people are using there mobile phones which every kid these days have iPhones and iPads making it so much easier to order online making more people wanting to use the phones.
4. I think people will start using thing even more since work will only get harder and later so finding time will just become too difficult so people will just start going online even more. Even though people now use it a lot there will just be more.

Yesterday afternoon at 4:45 p.m. Roger Clementine a fourteen year old boy and Jacob Jingleheimer-Smith and 91 year old man with his wife Melba, 67, collided head on at the intersection of First Street and Slaughter Lane.

It was a sunny hot Austin day when Roger was speeding down the wrong side of the road with his uncle's car. On the other side Jacob was was way below the speed limit when he saw Roger speeding down.

"What the....." Jacob yelled right before the collision.

Roger's 1948 Studebaker had only suffered a crumpled fender but Jacobs 1989 Yugo was a complete loss.

"My whole car was ruined and he only had a crumpled fender!" Jingleheimer whined.

Clementine had a few little cuts on his face and was taken to University Medical Center Brackenridge and he was release shortly after being treated. Jingleheimer had a serious head injury and was in some bad condition this evening. Melba only got a bloody nose during the accident.

"I had a cut almost one inch from my eye! I could have been blinded!" Clementine complained.

"My husband is in serious conditions from you driving on the wrong side of the road at 60 mph!!" Melba yelled at Clementine.

Clementine shouldn't have been driving in the first place since he is too young to be driving and Melba found that out and wasn't happy.

"He is not even old enough! He probably stole that car too!"

There was no reason for this crash since the roads were not slick. It was hot and dry.

"I slid a little into the wrong lane and then the sun was in my eyes." Clementine whined when asked why he was in the wrong lane.

Melba had a bloody nose from the accident which was more Clementine had

"That little brat only had tiny cuts I got a big bloody nose and my husband could die!"

There is no word on how Jacob has been recovering. Last heard about him was this evening when he was in serious condition. Hopefully he will okay and Clementine will not be charged with manslaughter.

"The only reason I want him to live is so I'm not charged with manslaughter." Clementine said when asked if he was worry about Jacob.

There is a car driving very fast along a curvy road in the middle of no where and in the middle of a forest surrounded by trees. It is an early April morning and it had been raining all night leaving pools of water on the side of the roads. Marco in the car is speeding down this road very trying to get somewhere.

As he is driving Katherine is dressed in a wedding dress laughing and getting ready for her wedding with her bride maids. She keeps looking out the window looking for someone to come. Her dad is sitting near her and checking his watch seeing if Marco will ever come for his daughter.

"Looks like he not coming Katherine." her dad explained to Katherine.

"He has to come! Where is he? I thought he loved me." Katherine whined.

 As she gets ready for her wedding the man in the car speeds past a slow car in front of him trying to go as fast as he can.

"Ahhhhhh!!! Hurry up dumb car!" Marco screamed in the car.

The dad of the bride shuts the door so no one can come into the room as they start heading towards the church for the wedding to begin.

"Here comes the bride..." the choir sings as she walks down.

 The man driving pulls up to the church. He stumbles up the small steps. As he opens the door he begins running to the bride and groom who are about to say there I do's.

"I now pronounce you man and ......" the minister says then looks at Marco.

The bride turns to him and looks embarrassed not expecting him to show up to the wedding.

"Oh no" Katherine whispers to herself.

She looks down at the ground trying not to make eye contact with the groom, Damon. Marco looks at them together and looks as he is about to start crying and wishing he could be the one up there with her but he was too late and she already picked the other Damon.

"uhh..." Marco utters to himself.

 But she wasn't expecting him to come in in the middle of the wedding when she was already marrying Damon. The bride was waiting for him to show up before the wedding but he didn't so she went ahead to the second man Damon. Damon did not realize there was another man in the picture as he looked down at the bride with disappointment in his eyes. As he looks down at Katherine.

"Who is this?" he spit down at Katherine.

Student of the Month

Kelly Thornton won the student of the month award at Bowie High School on November 30th by being nominated since she had amazing grades and had outstanding leadership.

"You have to have leadership like mine, because I'm the best overall," Kelly Thornton stated when being asked what it takes to become student of the month.

When Kelly's teachers were asked about her performance at school everything they said went against everything Kelly had said.

"Kelly never listens to me in class and always does her work incorrectly," Mr. Gomez said when asked if Kelly always does what she is supposed to.

Kelly had said she receives great grades in class and does better than anyone in all of her classes and all of the school.

"All 110s and 160s," Kelly said many times when talking about her grades.

But when asking her teachers they denied that she was even passing her classes.

"Kelly mainly receives 35s and 50s in all of her classes. But she has be caught changing her grades in the schools computer multiple times," Says Mrs. Smith, Kelly's History teacher.

Many people in the school are wondering why Kelly doesn't get in trouble or they don't change her grades back to 50s in the computer. But Kelly's best friend, Cianna, opened up and found that Kelly scares everyone to become a great student instead of working for it.

"Kelly always yells at me that she is better and thinks she is the best. But she isn't she just scares everyone in the school," Cianna stated when asked if Kelly thinks she is better than everyone."

Teachers at school wondering why Cianna is even friends with Kelly. But they have been friends since they were little in kindergarden.

"I met Kelly in kindergarden when she spilled juice on me and screamed in my face then we became best friend," Cianna said when asked about her friendship with Kelly.

Many people at Bowie High School think that Kelly doesn't deserve to win this award because she receives bad grades and is a terrible student in all of her classes. Even her best friend thinks this about her.

"I don't think that Kelly should have deserved this award at all. I think I should have won this award since I'm such a better student, I listen in class, and I'm an overall great person." Cianna said when asked if Kelly deserved this award.

People wonder what Kelly will do later in her life since no one knows what she is interested in. Kelly will probably want to rule the world.

"I want to become president of the world." Kelly stated when asked about her plans for the future.

Kelly had apparently the only one to be nominated in the student of the month running.

"I was the only one nominated since I'm the only one worthy." Kelly says.

Kelly thinks that she is better and more talented than everyone else.

"I have all the skills." Kelly stated after being asked about her talents.

Wearables are basically technology you can wear on your body.

We are seeing more of them because so many people have the iPhone and can't wait for the next one to come out just to get it. So people are excited for new things and ideas of technology and they think its cool and fun. So people keep coming up with ideas and ways to make the world smarter and better.

They mention the apple watch many times in this story and I kind of like the idea of an apple watch. They are like having your phone with you all the time but so much easier and faster to see your calls and messages without worrying about losing your phone or dropping and cracking it.

I think we will definitely see more of theses in the future, since we are only becoming smarter and people keep coming up with more ideas. Also people really like having so much technology since they don't have to do as much so people will want more and will buy more.

I not sure if I will be wearing the wearables but I know other people would love to wear them. People love technology near them all the time so one, they don't have as much to do (its easier) and two, they won't always feel alone and they will feel like they always have a friend. So I think they will go really far but I probably won't be buying to many of them.
