Creating bike lanes can lead to problems for a community. To make room for bikes on the roadway, the Bakersfield City Council has decided to eliminate parking spaces on Berry Avenue from 180th Street to 185th Street. Research suggests that areas without on-street parking experience economic decline. In addition, the council did not inform the people who use those spaces. Councilman Steven Barry received calls from several people in his district. Carol Lombard said, "I’m considering moving if you go through with this. I can’t enter my house through my back door, and I don’t have a driveway. It’s not fair.”

The following quotation—"The tradition emanating from the mystic and romantic novelists, that woman is a mysterious being, half hysteric, half angel, has found its way into scientific writing. Through the centuries gone those who wrote were men, and since the phenomenon of periodicity was foreign to them, they not unnaturally seized upon it as a probable source of the alleged ‘mystery’ and ‘caprice’ of womankind"—represents whose views?

Make gallant show and promise of their mettle;
But when they should endure the bloody spur,
They fall their crests and, like deceitful jades,
Sink in the trial.

Strange Weather
Tyrik gasped at the weather outside. He had heard of this weather spectacle before, but he had never experienced it. White flakes accumulated on the front yard, the street, and the sidewalk. It was snow.

Tyrik grew up near Miami, where it never snowed. But, during a winter break from school, his parents took him up to visit his aunt and uncle in Michigan. This was his first time out of Florida. For the first few days, it was bitterly cold. Fortunately, Tyrik brought a warm coat, snow gloves, and a knit cap with him. Today, though, it snowed and he wished he had a pair of snow pants.

After a scrumptious breakfast of grapefruit, kiwi, and seasoned scrambled eggs, his aunt and uncle asked if he wanted to go sledding. He jumped up and down with excitement. His mother, however, pointed out that he did not have snow pants. She didn’t want him to ruin his normal pants in the snow. Tyrik’s aunt offered to go next door to borrow a pair from the neighbors. They had a son close to Tyrik’s age. While his aunt walked next door, Tyrik brushed his teeth and put on a few layers of clothes. With his teeth cleaned and his body protected by two pairs of pants, two shirts, two pairs of socks, he went downstairs. Eventually, his aunt walked in carrying a pair of snow pants and snow boots. She was followed by a boy around the same height as Tyrik.

“Hi, I’m Connor,” the boy replied. “Do you want to go sledding with me?” Tyrik pulled on the snow pants and laced up the snow boots. He zipped up his coat and followed the boy outside. Connor explained that there was a great hill for sledding a few blocks away. He had an extra sled that Tyrik could use. As they walked, Tyrik told his new friend about Florida.

“It sounds awesome,” Connor replied. “I’d love to visit sometime. I want to see the ocean.”

“Yeah. You could stay at my house,” Tyrik suggested.

The boys spent the whole morning sledding. They took a break to have lunch at Connor’s house. Then, in the afternoon, they built a snow fort and a snowman. Although Tyrik loved Florida, he was grateful for an opportunity to see snow and play in it. He couldn’t wait to teach Connor how to build sand castles and how to boogie board when he visited Florida.
