Best highway from I-80 in Nebraska to I-90 in South Dakota? Question: Will soon be traveling by car and need to know which is the best route to take to get from I-80 in Nebraska to I-90 in South Dakota. Some options look like US-81 north from York, US-281 north from Grand Island, and US-83 north from North Platte as well as some other combinations. Will be starting on I-80 at York. Don't necessarily need the shortest, but would like the quickest route. Things I can think of to consider: 1) number of towns to slow down for, 2) road construction, 3) amount of traffic, 4) difficulty of passing, 5) don't want to go through Black Hills. Thanks for the help. Answer: Without knowing where you want to go exactly I would recommend this route. My fiance travels those roads often because we live in Missouri but he farms part of the year in North Dakota. From York N on 81 through Yankton, SD all the way to I-90. That will only make you go through a handful of towns. Because its mostly all Indian Reservations. So traffic will be pretty light. There might be some light bridge construction in Yankton...not sure if they are done there yet. He also takes I-29 to Sioux Falls and that is good road, good speed limits and you won't go through any black hills. |

B&A: What would you think of this story? Question: I thought it up as a "what if" story that went way awry... Okay so the girl, whom I've pretty much named Nathalia Grace Rodgers, goes to a local community college, and lives with her parents. Her dad loves math. One day Nathalia learns to {integrate inverse hyperbolic trig functions} (or something like that, that's just something my dad has always thrown around in math type conversations...) She doesn't get the chance to tell her dad (whom I've pretty much named Jack Ralph Rodgers...not so sure about Ralph though...I like the name, but it doesn't quite fit) because she's in the shower when he gets home late from work. While she is in the shower, a man breaks into their house. She doesn't know this, but when she goes up stairs there's a LOT of blood everywhere, and she assumes her mom and brother are dead. She freaks and runs back down stairs and hides in a room in her house. Someone else is in the room. She thinks it's her dad. But why wouldn't she, it looks just like her dad. They go, Nathalia doesn't know where to, it's just like get in the car kind of thing. They end up in Wheatland Wyoming, but Nathalia was asleep when they got there, so she doesn't know where they are. They hang out in a small shack like house, log cabin type thing... Nathalia soon finds out that it is not her dad. It is her dad's twin, of whom she's never known. She doesn't let on that she knows. One day he thinks she is still asleep and takes a call...she finds out his name is Jake. He leaves, she tries to find usefull things and escape. In the middle of this, Jake returns. He sneaks up on her, and beats her. The last thing Nathalia remembers before blacking out is him undoing his/her pants buttons. Nathalia later wakes up in a hospital. She has no idea how much later. She remembers what happened, and assumes she was raped. She decides not to wait around in the hospital with all the hospital bullcrap and escapes. She sees a sign that says Wheatland, and assumes it's the Wheatland near her small Iowa town. She goes there, and it's not. Nathalia decides to go to Colorado. She's got no reason to go home without her family. Her closest aunt (to wyoming) lives in Nevada. She likes Colorado. She goes there (walking. camping. epicness) Once she gets into Colorado, however, she decides that it's not the right thing to do. She begins to think about what has happened. Decides to go to North Platte, Nebraska where her Grandmother lives with her grandfather (Mara Louise Lindville and Samuel Mark Lindville). She wants to ask her grandmother about all this. But her grandmother is old, and kind of loosing it. Her grandpa isn't her biological grandpa, so he wouldn't know anything. Maybe she'll find out something. Nathalia decides to go back home. Her grandparents give her money to get there. On the way into town, she finds her dad. She is surprized to see he's alive, but she's unsure if it's really him. Tests him by telling him about learning the math thing. He knows what she's talking about. He knows nothing about the mom and brother though. They go back to his appartment (temporary, police looking for evidence @ home, cleaning, etc). They connect to the Wyoming cops, and learn Nathalia was not raped. The cops came in just as she blacked out, on a tip. End quote: "Maybe the cops will find them all. Maybe we can rebuild our lives." So it stays open... Possible sequel: a few years later, everything is starting to be somewhat stable, when Nathalia and Jack are going canoeing by a small town north of their town. They find Nathalia's mom/brother/both but they have sever amnesia and have started new lives. * What do you think of the idea? Does the possible sequel idea sound too cheezy?? Thank you so much for reading all this~! Answer: I really wouldn't like it, but not because you're a bad author, but because I'm just not interested in these types of books. However, the idea sounds pretty cool! If you like it, then by all means, write it. I bet tons of thriller fans will love it. Good luck. |

help me with english ~~? Question: I've been reading a book titled "Heaven is for real", and there's some points as which I need your help. To give you enough context not to be confused, here's a long part of it including the part I need your help. And my question is at the end of it. -------------------------------PART----------------------- ------------ Colton’s car seat was strapped into the backseat of our SUV. Gently, I laid him in, wondering as I buckled him in how fast I could make the ninety-minute trip to North Platte. Sonja climbed into the backseat with Colton, armed with a pink plastic hospital dish for catching vomit. The day was sunny but cold. As I steered the SUV onto Highway 61, I twisted the rearview mirror so that I could see Colton. Several miles passed in silence; then I heard him retching into the bowl. When he was finished, I pulled over so that Sonja could empty it onto the side of the road. Back on the highway, I glanced in the mirror and saw Sonja slip the Xray film from the brown envelope and hold it up in the streaming sunlight. Slowly, she began shaking her head, and tears filled her eyes. “We screwed up,” she said, her voice breaking over the images she would later tell me were burned in her mind forever. I turned my head back enough to see the three small explosions she was staring at. The misshapen blotches seemed huge in the ghostly image of Colton’s tiny torso. Why did they seem so much bigger now? “You’re right. We should’ve known,” I said. “But the doctor . . .” “I know. We shouldn’t have listened.” -------------------------------------------- Que stion) “We screwed up,” she said, her voice breaking over the images she would later tell me were burned in her mind forever. 1)her voice breaking over the images: what it means? 2)she would later tell me THE IMAGES were burned in her mind forever? or if not what were burned in her mind forever? 3)And if something is burned in one's mind forever, what it means? I think it's hard expression for me to understand. and it's only used in writing or also used in verbal conversation? Pleas Help....... Thank you so much, lol~! Answer: 1) her voice breaking over the images: what does it mean? The voice is said to break (or crack) when the person is trying to speak in spite of the tightness of the throat that people get when they are about to weep, or when they are holding back tears. > His voice broke and his eyes filled with tears when he spoke about his beloved parents. > "Why did this happen?" she whispered, her voice cracking. > "Yes," he said softly. "I remember her." His voice broke over the faded photos in the album. > "You will never know how much I regret it." Her voice broke over the memory of her mistakes. So the passage you are quoting means that she is getting "choked up" with tears as she looks at the images. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2) THE IMAGES were burned in her mind forever? Yes, that is correct. A "which" is omitted, and a parenthetical phrase is inserted. “We screwed up,” she said, her voice breaking over the images [which] (she would later tell me) were burned in her mind forever. ... her voice breaking over the images, which were burned in her mind forever. > I signed up for Cultural Anthropology, a course I later found out was a prerequisite for my other classes. I signed up for Cultural Anthropology, a course [which] (I later found out) was a prerequisite for my other classes. > Luckily, I had already read "The Great Gatsby," a novel the Professor said was required reading for my English Lit class. Luckily, I had already read "The Great Gatsby," a novel [which] (the Professor said) was required reading for my English Lit class. > Darleen and Danisha performed a daredevil stunt their father always felt could have killed them. Darleen and Danisha performed a daredevil stunt [which] their father always felt could have killed them. > Moira trimmed her wedding gown with the bridal lace she knew her grandmother had preserved in her trousseau. Moira trimmed her wedding gown with the bridal lace [which] (she knew) her grandmother had preserved in her trousseau. This usage is not obligatory, and it is probably more common to see the complete grammatical structure. > On the sofa was the dog's chew toy, which -- she later confessed -- she thought was a real human bone. (The toy she later confessed she thought was a real human bone was on the sofa.) > The Appleyard Baptist Church, which -- her grandfather always claimed -- had been founded by her great grandfather Nathan Strong, was just down the road. (The church her grandfather claimed had been founded by Nathan Strong was just down the road.) > Most of the shoes that according to the sign were on sale were of dubious quality. (Most of the shoes on sale according to the sign were of dubious quality.) > The universities that (so it seemed to me at the time) offered the best courses were my first selection. (The universities it seemed to me offered the best courses were my first selection.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3) And if something is burned in one's mind forever, what does it mean? This is a common English expression meaning that the image, sight, event, experience is permanently a part of one's memory -- as though it had been "burned" onto the surface of the mind. This expression always makes me think of the picture that results from using a wood-burning tool to draw a design on a piece of wood. Or even the grill marks burned onto a steak on the barbeque LOL! The idea is that these "pictures" or images are permanent. Sometimes it is tuned even higher by saying "seared" into the mind. > What he saw then was seared into his mind for the rest of his life. > The music we danced to is burned into my mind permanently. > Every detail of that day is burned in my mind, and I will never forget a single moment. > The sight was so awe-inspiring that it was seared in his mind forever. It is mostly used in writing, but it can be heard in spoken remarks. However, t is a little over-the-top and a little too colorful for easy speech, so when it is spoken, it is often used tongue in cheek, or sarcastically -- or at least with an awareness that it's a little too much. > "The girl was like BEAUTIFUL, man! I was like 'Totally WOW, girl! You are burned in my mind forever!' " > "Did you like the movie?" "Sure. Burned into my mind for the rest of my life." If you wanted to express the idea more sincerely, in spoken English you would probably just say something like, "I don't think I'll ever forget that" or "I'm going to remember that for a long time to come." |
