To the causal eye, Green Valley, Nevada, a corporate master-planned community just south of Las Vegas, would appear to be a pleasant place to live. On a Sunday last April—a week before the riots in Los Angeles and related disturbances in Las Vegas—the golf carts were lined up three abreast at the up-scale ―Legacy‖ course; people in golf outfits on the clubhouse veranda were eating three-cheese omelets and strawberry waffles and looking out over the palm trees and fairways, talking business and reading Sunday newspapers. In nearby Parkside Village, one of Green Valley’s thirty-five developments, a few homeowners washed cars or boats or pulled up weeds in the sun. Cars wound slowly over clean broad streets, ferrying children to swimming pools and backyard barbeques and Cineplex matinees. At the Silver Springs tennis courts, a well-tanned teenage boy in tennis togs pummeled his sweating father. Two twelve-year-old daredevils on expensive mountain bikes, decked out in Chicago Bulls caps and matching tank tops, watched and ate chocolate candies. David Guterson, ―No Place Like Home: On the Manicured Streets of a Master-Planned Community,‖ excerpt from Seeing and Writing 3

Fossils can tell us a lot, but they can’t tell us everything. Think of everything you know about what a mouse looks like, its diet and behavior. If mice went extinct, what parts would fossilize? Its tail, fur and organs would not. They are too soft to be preserved. Future paleontologists would have to make a guess about what their brain looked like by studying their skulls. Paleontologists wouldn’t know what mice fur looked like, what colors it could be or it it had a pattern. As new fossils are added to the fossil record, we learn more. But Earth’s history still holds many mysteries.

The fossil record can best be described as

A. too large.

She stares at her ceiling once again with hundred thoughts "Maybe he knows who I am, probably not" She walks down the hall with her head down low scared to meet his eyes.
Even when she hears his voice she's swarmed with butterflies, it's impossible to get you off my mind. I think about hundred thoughts and you are 99. I've understood that you will never be mine and that's fine I'm just breaking inside. He always walks the crowded halls and is blinded by this light: A girl who keeps her head down low and never shows her eyes. He's tried to talk to her but there's no easy way because every time he raises his voice she runs away. It's impossible to get you off my mind, I think about hundred thoughts and you are 99. I've understood that you will never be mine and that's fine I'm just breaking inside. One day maybe she'll stay and start to head over his way and one day she'll look into his eyes, and instead of breaking she'll call him "mine."
One day he'll grab her by the waist and force them to meet face to face and one day he'll look into her eyes and say that "you're my only light." It's impossible to get you off my mind, I think about hundred thoughts and you are 99. I understand that you will never be mine, and that's fine, I'm just breaking inside.
