Leanne llorsley two and liali admires some lamps displayed by David Miller of ERMA BOMBECK Cab riding real thrill By ERMA BthllEtK The world is full of thrillv seekers There are the people who on dure the isolation and physical discomforts to climb moun tains There are the people who challenge the rapids in small rubber boats There are those courageous men and women who jump over cars on bikes and canyons in human rockets Me ride in taxicabs Ive been doing it for more than 30 years and have had more than my share of adven ture Do have death wish if course not So why do do it Because heyre there rode my first cab in hicago back in 1943 As teenager had won summer scholarship to Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern climbed into cab at the depot and as it lur ched away from the curb the force threw my suitcase into my kidney causing me great pain During my entire trip my feet never once hit the floor knew then would never have to question or prove my cour age gain The odd thing about people who ride in cabs is they are never given the honor that other heroes are affoixied No one appreciates the fact that you are only mortal You bleed FLEA ARK El Miller rafts of Stroud at the flea market held Sunday by the Alcona Beach om You perspire You extwricnce fear You have will to live Looking back have had some memorable moments in taxicabs There was the time driver in Philadelphia was tail gating the car ahead of us at it while reading his resume to me hoping could get him job in advertising somewhere ilm rather proud of that one because when the car in front of us slowed down and my glasses landed on the dashtmard not once did cry outi There was it cab ride in Los Angeles shared with biisi ncssmeii whom had iie er met before We were helplessly tossed together so intimately in the back seat we discussed our china pat tern have also endured the Grand Prix of taxi riding ride from the centre of New York to Kennedy airport in to minutes in ihicago recently clim bed into cab and immediately my throat closed up and couldnt breathe for coughing When tapped on the glass the driver informed me the battery was leaking acid Actually it was more hu mane way to travel in cab but

started unravelling one of the most basic mysteries of biology Why do some roses turn out red and others yellow Tllt question is not as frivo lous as it might seem because what determines the color of plant is sort of built in code its important because this socalled genetic code works itt basically the same way for all living things controlling how tall your children will grow as well as the color of your pet cat And scientists want to under stand the code because it could hold the answer to what upsets the normal pattern of growth it may for instance explain why perfectly healthy cell sud
