Day 1 Notes The first time I observed the family of Quails was June 5th, 2016 at 5:30 PM. I located them at 61st St and E Gold Dust Avenue. Their habitat included a mowed lawn and field of rocks (apache pink). The weather condition was mildly warm evening. A brief description of quails observed: the male has a generally blueish gray body. He has a black plume extending from his forehead. The fur covering his scalp is maroon.

He is about 12 cm in height. The female Quail had similar physical characteristics except her general fur color is light brownish and…

And of course, California dominates the west coast. Whatever breaking news that was happening elsewhere didn’t matter much unless it happened in the golden state. I grew up in this paradisal isolation. This mentality that you were in the center of the universe, and that everything else was simply revolving. That was…
When you hear the word ‘flood’ what do you think of? The majority of us probably think of the scientific definition of the word: a natural disaster that happens when a large amount of water covers an area of land that is normally dry (Merriam-Webster Online). However, in recent years, this scientific definition has been taken out of context to form a tasteless political metaphor. In the United States, immigration has/is frequently referred to as a flood, a stream, a tide, a wave, a tsunami, or a…

was to venture out from Jeddah to California. My heart was beating as I strolled through the entryways of the Jeddah air terminal. I was gripping to my bag as I walked up to the counter to get my ticket. I needed to hold up in line to get my ticket and after that get my pack checked.

The flight specialist, who was wearing a light dim dress with a red…
