It was a gorgeous September morning in San Francisco's in her Sunset District, glowing warm and bright. I was spending it on my knees in the middle of 11th Avenue, pleading with a dog. Hey, Cuomo, I said, ditching my phone. Lee unraveled tone for something even more phone. Really playful. Check it out. I got off my knees but stayed down in a passive, non threatening crouch. He watched closely and came a few steps closer. Encouraged, I sat down, braced my hands behind me and stretched out my legs as if I were settling in for a placid picnic. In the park. Rodney Rafter and Benny's brother had a handheld computer and was pushing buttons and reading the screen rafters. Dad stepped through relatives until he stood in the middle of the room. He adjusted his glasses, cleared his throat and began to speak. Thank you all for coming. It's so nice to be surrounded by family. On a day like this, he put his hand to his chin. Let me think. I don't recall twins getting powers since Wilbur and Wendell Bailey in 1925 his father continued. It is our hope that with the addition of Rafter and Benny superpowers will finally be able to triumph over our arch enemies. I'm feeling something weird, Benny said, interrupting rafters thoughts. It's like a tingling. Then it's time, their dad shouted. You were the 1st 1 born, so you'll get your power first rafters power will come. A few minutes later, Rafter turned to watch his brother. He had heard from a few of his cousins that sometimes getting a power could hurt. The struggle between liberty and authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar, particularly in that of Greece. Rome In England. Mr Rao came straight to the point. He did not believe in beating about the bush. As he said, Anania, did you take some money from Mrs Kumar's handbag today? Looking down at her shoes, Anania murmured, No, sir, I didn't. For a few seconds, there was utter silence. The silence was so loud that she felt as though the sound was breaking her ear drums. She looked up. The three grown ups were looking at each other, and then finally, Mrs Shaw said, Anania, I saw you take the money I was behind the cupboard, and you didn't see me own up now and hand over the money. After a moment's pause, Mr Rao said Anania, For your own good, I think your parents should be made aware of your behavior today. You know, I said, standing there in the living room, my head tilted at one of those angles that would indicate ones confusion, of which there was plenty for me at the moment. Suspicious wives usually call me before they kill their husbands. I was greeted with dead silence. I looked up from the former Mr Hagen's to the now widowed Mrs Higgins. That was a joke, I said. Mrs. Higgins gave a nervous titter, something akin to a laugh, I suppose. But still, I continued looking back down at the deceased Mr Higgins, because, quite frankly, Mrs Higgins was just too freaky for my tastes. Ryan walks over and whisper something to his sister. She smiles. Ryan, Samantha. None of that, their father says. Telling secrets is rude, especially in front of your mother and father. Now let's hear what you two mischievous answer up to Samantha takes a long look at her brother before she replies, Well, you see It's just that, um, well, out with it. Mother prods. Ryan decides to take charge. Mom, Dad, we could go to the river that Uncle Toby used to talk about. You know, the river that leads to the great Salt Ocean. I could take a cool swim and we could all go finally get out of this. Heath Ryan runs out of breath.

The numbers may seem astronomical, but the latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics report that back pain is responsible for 62% of people.
