taking your life in your hands

 Driving fast is fun. Driving the speed limit plus 10 or so seems to work well. Not so fast that it's extra dangerous, but fast enough that you have to keep an eye out for cops. And not driving more than three or four miles an hour over the speed limit and residential areas and other crowded business districts. Those places are not really fun to drive anyway. The places that are fun to drive are out in the country unwinding roads or out on the freeway without a lot of traffic.

Most of the time though they would have a little New York strip steak for around 10 to 12 bucks. One time the steak was delicious tender without gristle and almost no fat.

For instance, we need extra people so if there's an accident somebody can get help. Some people think let's get more people so we'll have more fun, generally that's not me.                                       .

  Dwayne Johnson plays an ex Navy SEAL helicopter pilot. He flies through a hurricane to save a family stranded on jet skis from a tsunami. A volcano goes off nearby causing a massive earthquake which sucks up much of the tsunami, before trillions of tons of smoke Ash and steam spew into the sky. Of course Dwayne is able to rescue everyone, fly under the smoke and Ash and over the massive waves to escape the cataclysmic disaster. Meanwhile millions of people die on the shore when smoke Ash water and giant lava bombs land everywhere vaporizing and drowning people. Not to mention that the ground liquefies from the massive earthquake and people that make it to high ground simply sink out of sight, screaming in horror of course .   It turns out the family is his ex wife, their two kids, her new husband and his two kids from a previous marriage. There is a flashback to their breakup scene where she tells Dwayne, one day all your heroics are going to end in disaster, I can't be ther...
