On Friday of last week a young boy around nine years old was attacked by a coyote. The coyote attacked the boy from behind while he was snowboarding on a golf course. The boy swatted the animal on the head a few times; the coyote then released and ran away. The boy is now ok thankfully. In my eyes at nine years old I have no clue what I would have done to try and save myself. Truthfully I don’t think that I would have been as brave as this nine year old boy. My brother just turned ten in September, but even now I don’t think he would have been as brave as this other boy who was attacked. I think that he would have screamed bloody murder until someone came and saved him. About three or four years ago my father and I had gotten back on a Sunday afternoon form a long days work. We unloaded the truck and put a basket of bags into the house when a snake slithered out and into the hallway where my sister saw it and ran to tell my mother and father. They went back into the hallway and saw it slither under the office door and behind one of the cabinets. My dad instantly put out sticky pads and traps to try and catch the snake. After that about an hour or two later the whole family was upstairs getting ready for bed. While in bed my little brother normally reads to my mom or dad but forgot his book down stairs in the office. He quickly booked it down the stairs and then creped slowly into the office and peeked behind the cabinet that the snake crawled behind and then let out a blood curdling scream. I had never heard anything like that in my life. I instantly jumped out of bed and ran down stairs; meanwhile my parents and sister were doing the same thing. Once we were all down there we saw my little brother running out of the office, with a look of just have seen a ghost on his face. My mother, father, sister and I all looked at one another and busted out with laughter. As you can see my little brother is a wimp but I still love him. In conclusion I can say what I think but I would never know how one of us would take the situation into our hands and make an outcome.

Early Sunday morning around 12:45 am a police Sgt. rolled his car on Quebec Parkway. The police believed there had been alcohol involved with the car crash. The police handed over the investigation to the Colorado State Patrol because of his position within the police department. I think that it was wrong to hand it over to another organization just because of his position. But they will sit on corners of hills waiting to rob someone coming down the hill a little faster than the speed limit. I also think it is just wrong for a COP to drink and drive period. Cops are not above the law just because they can sit on corners waiting for people to come down a hill a little fast and then pull them over and make them pay a ticket. They are also not above the law just because they can bust people for wrong doing and put them in jail. Everyone has to obey the United States laws no matter who you are, if you are the President or if you are a homeless man you need to follow the laws of our country. So many little boys and girls look up to cops and want to be one when they grow up. I still know kids that want to be cops and will probably fulfill that dream. So the cops of America need to step it up and be good influences on the kids of the United States.

While I was looking through Denver’s local news I scrolled over an article that said someone stole many useful items out of a police patrol car. There was a .40 Glock handgun, body armor, three loaded magazines, the officer’s badge, hand cuffs, a collapsible baton and some pepper spray. The first thing that went through my mind was how and why. Who would go and check if a police car was unlocked and what if it wasn’t, would this man still try and get in? Another thing I would like to know is what the police are doing to find this man and do they even care that this was stolen. Also, what does this man plan to do with all of these police items? Does he plan to save it for hard times when they come or is he going to try and change the world? What do you think is going through this man’s mind?

In the next few days Colorado is due for around 5 to 10 inches of snow and about 35mph winds in our area. Personally snow is my favorite for many different reasons. To start with there are so many more thing that snow makes better or that there is so many more things that you can do in snow that you can’t when there is no snow. Such as you can go sledding or tubing with friends or family. Next you can go snowboarding or skiing in the beautiful Colorado, snow caped Rocky Mountains. Also the snow glistens and gleams when the sun shines down upon the snow. Last, there’s nothing the snow makes better than a warm cup of hot chocolate around a warm fire and family and friends. To me nothing can get better then the winter.
