River City 2

I wanted to turn this into two blogs it means less work for me so here is part 2 of the River City writers. When the speaking started the host got up and was going to introduce the speakers (She was kind of attractive, but that’s a different subject). The first speaker was a lady from Australia with a degree in Linguistics (She was attractive too, still a different subject). When she spoke you can clearly tell she was not from this country and if she didn’t tell me she was from Australia I would have thought she was British. She more than lived up to her degree half the words she said I didn’t know the meaning of I just tried to laugh with the crowd whenever she made a joke. Her topic was the evolution of language which in class earlier that week we debated ( Mainly Ryan, Taylor, Jackson, Ms. Sumner, and I, and Ryan’s team put up good points). At the end I wanted to debate her too but we went right off into the next speaker who was a writer for the New York Times. He was a middle aged man with a cane (never told us why) and his topic was the “Shot heard around the world” in baseball because he discovered that the New York Giants were stealing the signals of the opposing team. His book was like a story with him as the narrator and main character. To end the series was another lady and her topic was the events surrounding George Soros (well actually it was the war in his country but, right now I forgot the country.) Well her story was about a group of guerilla fighters supported largely by a man from the country working in New York as the head of a construction company. He was funding a private army. After she ended her speech it was question time. After Jackson got to ask his question I asked the author of the book about the war how did this man build a private army she told me that our government turned a blind eye on what he was doing as a means to kind of help that country (very interesting). That’s the only question I got out someone sort of hogged question time (If you went you know). At the end there was the opportunity to by their books and surprising I wanted to by some of the books (but, I had little money) and I had to finally leave my small sample of the good life.
