Physical Geography . a. to emerge from a relatively narrow valley upon an open plain: A river or glacier debouches on the plains. b. to flow from a small valley into a larger one. 3. to come forth; emerge.165565; < French déboucher, equivalent to dé- dis-1 + -boucher, verbal derivative of bouche mouth < Latin bucca cheek, jaw
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

WFB's attempt to emulate us ; ) No pushing at the door please!
talk about terrible luck.
Thank you! We didn’t get but 1/2 inch of rain with the cool front, but that is okay-I’ve had the A/C off for two days for the first time since June...
Good God-you can kill someone with an object dropped from a height like that-I’m glad he is unhurt! I have a collection of old railroad spikes I started as a kid, and they are not small. I’ll bet he is glad to be done with that trip...
While I agree with you, one does wonder if the boys arent thinking the refs will be extra judicious, in a cross-gender collision.
If the kid had different timing, it would have gone thru the front, and took his head off.
Happens here frequently. Bowling balls, rocks, lumber. Between 280 and Newark, lots over passes with little aholes.
I thought that as well.
LMAO
Thats what I rode in 93
http://hallicino.hubpages.com/hub/Top_10_Ugliest_Motorcycles_Of_All_Time
The V45 ( 3 down) no windshield, and no helmet laws, was 83.
You could ride that over 100, and feel like you were sitting in an easy chair.
Now I am horrified as number one son is talking ride, as he is taking DRIVERS ED!!!!!
I am so dippy I meant to address that to you lol.
That is a neat bike, and it looks comfortable-neither MrT5 nor my first husband had a Harley-MrT5 had a nice, mid-price Honda, but the first husband had a Goldwing-he traded his other rice bike and bought the Goldwing when he found out that my then-fiancé-a cop-had one. It was a nice comfy bike to ride, but I actually enjoyed riding out in the country with MrT5 more, because you got the feel of the road, and sense of being on a bike more on his less-fancy one.
Years ago there was an overpass outside SA at the turnoff to the highway to Brownsville/the coast where kids from hell used to drop rocks and even cinderblocks. It all stopped after a driver and their passenger were seriously injured-a 12 year old arrested and his parents absolutely ruined in a lawsuit...
The V45 had adjustable shocks, at the soft position, it was like you were not even on the road. Got pulled over one night, got a ticket for going 80, officer said the helicopter had me over 105.
No lie, right hand only, in the loose hang out position
What sells HD...is nothing in the world sounds like that,
Omigosh. I’m glad they got the back window and not the front! He was very lucky indeed. It would make me a little reluctant to go back there until it’s time for graduation though.
Yes we are looking forward to being done with upstate NY after graduation next May, and our niece’s wedding in June. She lives here now, and her dad comes down to visit so really there’s nothing up there for us. Though I guarantee there will be trips to the Dome for games. Xshub sent me three articles from the Syracuse paper with respect to three diff violent crimes that happened on Sat!
Syracuse, amirite? Amirite?
