Can you read the paragraph and tell what the two imaginative comparisons about the truck are? Even the taxi horns dwin-dle down to a precocious few in the gray and pink moments of dawn. Suddenly there is another sound, a morning sound that taunts the memory for recognition. The growl of a predatory monster?

Metallic jaws on sanitation trucks gulp and masticate the residue of daily living, then digest it with a sat- isfied groan of gears.

Why can't a pilot simply toot a seriously loud horn? Trains, busses, trucks, and boats have em...WHY NOT JETS? They are so expensive, and so fragile. .

So all hondas would have the same pitch, all fords another, etc?

I have these big loud air horns and there are these cats roaming the parking lot. What would you do? I am a truck driver sitting in my truck doing answers. I'm sitting in this big parking lot, and I keep seeing these cats roaming around looking for food scraps. And I've got some LOUD air horns that are mounted on the truck bottom. I'm temped to toss some food out to attract the cats,then get down on that horn to watch their reaction. But here in laredo Tx, it is night and there are other trucks around me with their drivers sleeping. If I blast my horn, the only claws and fangs that will come out will probably be those of the other truck drivers. And so, my Y/A friends, what do you think I should do?
