Safety Issues
When Hassan tried to get his truck re-licensed for the next year, he was told no, and in no uncertain terms. “Safety Issues” was all the inspector would say. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Nice Yard
Ed and Candy had always prided themselves on having a nice, lush, green yard, and spared no expense to keep it that way. They were beginning to wonder, though, if perhaps they had over fertilized just a little bit this year. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Entitlements
Rakesh had heard on the BBC that American politicians were fighting over whether to cut or increase entitlements—he just wished he had an entitlement to worry about. . . . . David, Sf.G.
A New Perspective
Kenny, a corn and soybean farmer from Iowa, had always been proud of how hard he worked to get the best possible yield from his 640 acres, especially this year after the combine’s MP3 player and the A/C both broke on the last day of the soybean harvest. And then, while on a hard won vacation visiting India and driving through the foothills of the Himalayas, he began to get a new perspective on hard work . . . . David, Sf.G.
Low Bidder
Horatio had gotten his Masters degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Phoenix (on line) and, like the wildcatters of old, found what he thought should be a great oil well prospect and asked for bids to drill. He was beginning to think taking the lowest bidder may not have been the best choice . . . . David, Sf.G.
