Another popular recreational machine is the motorcycle. The one Dean is sitting on in Figure 5 (see page 20) is a smaller model, but motorcycles come in all sizes. These machines pose the most potential for serious injury and require both bike-riding and driving skills, but are not a training vehicle for someone just learning to drive.Children growing up on a ranch, farm or other rural property traditionally spend more time with family activities than children living in a city or town. They also assume more responsibility for helping with the work required to keep such a lifestyle running smoothly. Farmers are especially notorious for teaching their children to drive tractors, trucks and other equipment at an early age. Fun karts are an ideal way for these families to introduce their children to the skills and responsibilities drillbracketpress of driving vehicles and machinery. Some models are powerful enough to pull a small trailer for hauling feed or doing chores around the homestead.

Not long into the first round, Denise and her friends saw Sarah''s true colors. "She was a Type-A, hyper-competitive, bad-tempered control freak," Denise recalls. Denise and her friends were enjoying the blustery, seaside golf. But Sarah wasn''t hitting the ball very well. One of the women, an 8-handicapper named Mary, was trying to be nice to Sarah, helping her with club selection and a few tips. But Sarah got more and more frustrated with every ball she hit. She began throwing clubs, kicking the turf, and basically having a temper tantrum. When Mary tried to help her again, she replied, "No thanks! I''m tired of your little golf stories and cliches. Get away from me!" (As Mary says now, "The word ''fore'' never left my lips again when she was in front of me.") The next day, after a game of high-low, which she clearly did not win, Sarah demanded to check Mary''s addition. It went downhill from there. By the fourth evening, the other women could barely stand Sarah''s company. Denise and Sarah had dinner themselves that night, and Sarah took the opportunity to unburden herself drillbracketpress about the aspects of Denise''s personality that bothered her. Denise got up and left the table, mid-meal, and went to one of their group''s rooms to fume. Unfortunately, Sarah and Denise were sharing a room, so she had to go back to it eventually. "Sarah pretended to be asleep so we didn''t have to talk," Denise says. "Which was fine by me. We made it through the weekend, did not sit together on the flight home, said goodbye at Kennedy and I''ve never spoken to her again."
