The first part of that Tim - coming - home story was actually written as an exercise of sorts . What I ' m about to tell you now was never really written , as it were , so forgive me if it 's a little less polished . Mike and I drove to the airport to pick Tim up , got pulled over for speeding and got out of the ticket because Mike is military police .

A: Why did Mike ultimately not get a speeding ticket ?

My three favorites from the group are a girl named Pauli ( mi hermana chilena ) , Rodrigo , y Felipe . There is also a really great girl from Brazil , but I can never remember her name , ha . I go out with them , go to their house parties with them , and they help me with my Spanish .

A: Why does the narrator choose to have so many foreign friends ?

They might think you do nt mind , and continue whatever they 're doing , which you hate . Haha , do nt say thanks to me , because you ' ve done a lot more for me . Again , thanks for always telling me to be strong :) & To always talk to me online whenever you sense something wrong .

A: Who may the narrator be talking to in this dialogue ?

Actual flame If you click on the photo and enlarge it , you can see flame just above the flat ridge to the left of the zig - zagging trail . Ever watch Dante 's Peak ? I loved that movie , cheesy as it was . The special effects were great .

A:
Why might I bringing up Dante 's Peak in my post ?
