Everyone on the team worked hard to get the project done in record time. I had to learn to deal with disappointment when I failed to be selected for the junior varsity team. No one wanted to take out the trash because they thought the task was beneath them. As the day wore on, the glare from the sun got increasingly stronger.

What does it mean to acquire something? What have you acquired?

“If you feed the neighborhood stray cat, he'll keep coming back. He'll remember your house as an easy source of food and won't have to scavenge for as much garbage or chase down as many field mice. The same thing obviously applies to birds and bird feeders, just on a much larger scale.”

Milstein, Michael. “Beyond Wind Plan, Pickens Eyes Pipelines in Drought-Ridden U.S.” Popular Mechanics. 25 Jul. 2008. <www.popularmechanics.com>.

“A drought has drained water from Texas and much of the rest of the United States. That could make water an increasingly profitable commodity for those who hold the rights. According to his web site, Pickens owns rights to more water than anyone else. ‘In general, there's a lot of it, it's just not in the right place,’ says Robert Stillwell, legal counsel for Mesa Water (and board member of the water supply district), which continues to acquire water rights in rural Texas.”
