Fishing tournaments have continued to grow and expand throughout Dallas metroplex lakes, that participate in bass fishing and even bow fishing. Recently, I...
12:47, the clock reads. Your eyelids are faltering, exhausted from the hours you’ve spent studying for your math test tomorrow. Even after spending countless minutes going over the difference between the cosine and sine functions, you still manage to get the practice problems wrong, all the while your looming theology homework sits to the side, untouched, meaning that tonight is...
