Irving home where Oswald stayed before JFK assassination to open as museumWritten by Matt Joyce | Published November 5, 2013
It may seem like the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy has been dissected in every manner imaginable. But the assassination's pending 50th anniversary on November 22 continues to reveal new perspectives of the event. Case in point: Wednesday's opening of the Ruth Paine House Museum, the suburban Irving home where Lee Harvey Oswald stayed the night before he shot Kennedy.
A Tower of PowerWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published November 1, 2013
Yes, according to the calendar, it has been "officially†fall since September 22, but it sure hasn't felt like it yet. But somehow, cooler temperatures have arrived just in time to set our clocks back this weekend, meaning that—among other advantages—there's one extra hour of enjoy evening happy hours! Here's a suggestion for those of you in the Bastrop area: Make tracks to the Bastrop Brewhouse, whose multi-level deck overlooks the Colorado River. (Weather reports indicate a low temperature of 52 on Saturday night; that's a practically perfect condition for al fresco dining.)

Exhibit captures Texas drought through the lenses of citizen photographersWritten by Matt Joyce | Published October 30, 2013
Wildfires, parched pastures, evaporating lakes, we all have our own experience of the drought that's been plaguing Texas in recent years. A photo exhibit on display this week at the State Capitol shares new perspectives from citizens across the state.

The Texas Department of Agriculture, Texas Water Development Board, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are showcasing the photographs as part of their "What does your Texas drought look like?" campaign.
The exhibit opened Monday and continues through Friday in the Capitol's 2nd Floor Extension, Central Gallery.
Despite recent rainfall in much of the state, 62 percent of Texas remains in drought and another 24 percent is abnormally dry, according to the federal government's U.S. Drought Monitor.
The exhibit includes some of the hundreds of images that people across Texas shared via Flickr, Instagram, and Twitter as part of the agencies' photo project. You can see some of the photos on the project's Flickr page.
The project has created a historical record of the drought, and represents both water supply deficits and the ways Texans deal with drought through conservation efforts, according to a news release.
If we get the rainfall predicted this week, let's hope the exhibit stays up for another couple of weeks. It couldn't hurt.

Briscoe Western Art Museum offers immersion in art, history of the WestWritten by Matt Joyce | Published October 25, 2013
It's hard to say what's most impressive about the new Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio. It could be Pancho Villa's last-known saddle, decorated with braided silver. Or the exhibit of more than 100 spurs, presented as a "school" swimming in an aquarium-like display case. Or the Frederic Remington colorful oil painting, "A Dandy on the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City, 1890."
The Color InsideWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published October 25, 2013
On Monday night, as a brief thunderstorm brewed over Austin, I witnessed a marriage of art, nature, and technology that left me speechless and reverent. Along with a dozen or so other guests, I ventured to the rooftop garden of the University of Texas' Student Activity Center to experience sunset at artist James Turrell's The Color Inside, a new, permanent skyspace commissioned by Landmarks, the university's public arts program. Since Landmarks debuted several years ago, the program has brought more than 20 pieces by nationally renowned artists to the UT campus.
Turrell, known as a "sculptor of light" has long been fascinated with light, color, space, and perception. More than 80 Turrell skyspaces exist around the world; this one is comparatively small, with room for about 25 people at a time. Entering the elliptical skyspace feels similar to entering an inexplicably comfortable cave, the black basalt benches are hard (but don't seem so) and they're angled so that it's simple to gaze upward through the hole in the ceiling.
The night of my visit, the curved nature of the space united us ––mouths open, gasping in wonder at times –– as we gazed through the hole (Turrell calls it an oculus) into the sky. As the sun began to set, LED lights projected color into the ceiling and walls, creating vibrant color washes of pink, lavender, periwinkle, yellow, orange, and green. The oculus somehow intensifies the sky while making it more abstract; at times, it's hard to discern where the walls end and the sky begins. Birds flying across the oculus become a dramatic event, as do random clouds, and a plane (if you're lucky).
At one particular moment, surrounded by a wash of periwinkle blue and lavender, gazing skyward at an inky sky while raindrops cascaded through the oculus like diamonds, I may have had an out-of-body experience.
While The Color Inside is open for observation throughout the day, Turrell considers his art to be visible only at sunrise and sunset, during light sequences. Timing, of course, depends on the season. (Because the Student Activity Center is usually closed at sunrise, your best bet is to make a reservation for a sunset experience; be prepared for a wait. Because the installation just opened to the public on October 19, interest is very high, but don't despair. The wait will be worth it.)

The Color Inside, on the 3rd floor of the Student Activity Center (at 22nd and Speedway) is free to experience. To make a reservation, visit www.turrell.utexas.edu.
Tee Pee Dreaming!Written by Lori Moffatt | Published October 18, 2013

Now that most of Texas has seen a cool snap, a visit to the beach might not seem as enticing as it does during the summer. But the ocean in wintertime reveals a different character. In my opinion, there is no better time to visit Texas' coastal destinations than during the off-season, when crowds are light and the sun's rays are gentler. On my list for this year is Palacios, a seaside village known for birding, fishing, and best of all: relaxing. Texas Highways has published stories in the past about Palacios' historic Luther Hotel, which dates to 1903 and faces the bay; I'd love to stay there and kick back with a book on the hotel's broad porches.

Halloween Happenings Across TexasWritten by Erin Inks | Published October 17, 2013
It can be a bummer to only get to wear a great Halloween costume for a single night. And to children, collecting a bag full of candy certainly seems like it should happen more than once a year. Luckily, there are lots of opportunities across the state to have some Halloween fun in the next couple of weeks (and, of course, on All Hallow's Eve itself).
In addition to carnivals and community trick-or-treating events, several cities add a historical spin on this spooky night. In Bonham on Oct. 26, visitors at the Sam Rayburn House Museum can visit the graves of this statesman, his family and local historical figures. The 10th annual Cemetery Tour in Victoria, Oct. 25-26, features re-enactors telling entertaining and informative stories showcasing the area's rich history. And San Angelo's historic Fort Concho offers special evening tours of the site with scary tales and real stories of the 1800s Oct. 28-29.

Austin City Limits Music Festival, Take TwoWritten by Erin Inks | Published October 9, 2013
With nearly the same lineup playing through two weekends this year (Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13), the Austin City Limits Music Festival offers a rare chance to offer some first-hand recommendations for what to do at an event that's usually a one-time-only experience. While I didn't get to see all (or even most) of the 130-plus acts on the festival's eight stages last weekend, there are a lot of things I'd do or see again--and maybe a few things I'd do differently.
Among the headliners, Depeche Mode (Friday) and The Cure (Saturday) both stand out as long-running acts that are holding up to the test of time. The same can be said for Lionel Richie, although I skipped most of his Sunday night spot in favor of seeing Atoms for Peace, which delivered a two-hour blast of high-energy rock that kept the crowd moving. If '80s music isn't your thing, British rockers Muse can put on a great arena-rock show (which I saw when they played ACL Fest in 2011), and Wilco fans will want to see their Saturday night performance, which might be the last one the band plays together for a while before frontman Jeff Tweedy embarks on a solo tour. Â
Getting around
Navigating the festival seemed slightly easier than in years past, despite the sellout crowd estimated to peak at 70,000 people. Arriving by bike, I was able to skip the lines for shuttle buses to and from downtown, lock up my ride right across the street from the main gates and get right to enjoying the event.
I grubbed in the Austin Eats food area all three days and rarely had to stand in a line, coming away with some delicious dishes I'd be happy to eat even if I wasn't a captive audience—bahn mi pork belly tacos from The Peached Tortilla, brisket tacos from Stubbs, cookies from Tiff's Treats, savory street corn from La Condesa and curry chicken from Lambas Royal Indian Foods were all tasty and all local. Perhaps best of all, I could cruise the menus (and prices) of all 35 food vendors without wandering the food stalls using the official ACL Fest phone app.
The addition of a craft beer tent--featuring a selection of 15 I.P.A.s, ciders, wheat beers and more on tap--opens up the options for folks who want to relax and have a ($8) drink  in a shady spot. The tent also has a large television screen, so if you want to keep up with the Texas-OU game this weekend, you can do it there.
As long as you plan to eat and visit the bathrooms sometime before 6 p.m., you should be able to make it through the headliner performances without too much hassle. The free water refill stations are generally easy to access, except when a show on a nearby stage has just ended. Around 7 p.m., the lines for everything get longer (30+ minutes for a bathroom), so plan (and drink!) accordingly. And invest in some hand sanitizer.
Music picks for Weekend Two
My other musical favorites from Weekend One include HAIM and MS MR (both of whom rock a live show harder than their '80s-pop-flavored albums), Local Natives, Neko Case, Passion Pit and Tame Impala (though they would have benefitted from more volume and a bigger stage considering the crowd they attracted). Austin bands that got their time to shine on the festival stages included White Denim, The Bright Light Social Hour and Shinyribs (who was only playing the first weekend). I had to miss Asleep at the Wheel, Dawes, Wild Feathers, The Shouting Matches, Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix and a few others that would have been worth checking out. If you're planning what to see on Weekend Two, my picks include:
- Friday: Sons of Fathers, Court Yard Hounds, Shovels & Rope, Electric Six, Local Natives, The Black Angels, Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode
- Saturday: Whiskey Shivers, HAIM, Silversun Pickups, Shakey Graves, Grimes, The Bright Light Social Hour, The Shouting Matches, Passion Pit, The Cure
- Sunday: The Band of Heathens, MS MR, The McCrary Sisters, Wild Feathers, Franz Ferdinand, Divine Fits, White Denim, Tame Impala, Phoenix, Neko Case, Atoms for Peace
If you go...
If you're heading to the festival this weekend, be sure to check out Jane Wu's tips on what to bring—the poncho may be especially important this Saturday and Sunday, according to weather forecasts. Sunscreen also is a must, but make sure it's the squeeze-bottle kind--aerosol sunscreen spray was being confiscated at the gate. I'd also add that you should turn off your cell phone's data connection if you're not using it or expecting a call/text. Being in a small area with so many people means poor reception, and your phone will be draining its batteries by constantly trying to get a signal (and there are no cell charging stations at the festival this year).
And of course, let us know what you see and hear! Comment below or share on our Facebook page.

A sprain is an injury to the tough ropey fibers (ligaments) that connect bone to bone. Also, an injury may cause both a sprain and a fracture in the same area.
Sprains are ranked by degree of severity. Symptoms of a sprain may be mild or severe and may sometimes be mistaken for a broken bone (fracture).
Treatment for a sprain includes rest (immobilization), ice, compression, and elevation. While a minor sprain will often heal well with home treatment, a moderate to severe sprain may require medical evaluation and treatment with a cast or splint, physical therapy, medicine, or surgery. Recovery time for a sprain varies depending on a person's age and health and the location and severity of the sprain.

Ronald Reagan
Wally McNamee/Corbis
Ronald Reagan 1911 - 2004
Ronald Wilson Reagan, a former film star who became America's 40th president, was the oldest to enter the White House but radiated a youthful optimism rooted in the traditional virtues of a bygone era. To a nation battered by Vietnam, damaged by Watergate and humiliated by the taking of hostages in Iran, Ronald Reagan held out the promise of a return to greatness, the promise that America would ''stand tall'' again.
He managed to project the optimism of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the faith in small-town America of Dwight D. Eisenhower and the vigor of John F. Kennedy. In his first term he restored much of America's faith in itself and in the presidency, and he rode into his second term on the crest of a wave of popularity.
But late in 1986, halfway through his second term, Mr. Reagan and his administration were plunged into turmoil by Iran Contra. Contrary to official policy, Mr. Reagan's subordinates sold arms to Iran as ransom for hostages in Lebanon and diverted profits from the sales to the rebels fighting the Marxist Sandinistas then governing Nicaragua. A joint Congressional investigating committee reported that the affair had been ''characterized by pervasive dishonesty and secrecy'' and that Mr. Reagan bore ultimate responsibility for the wrongdoing of a ''cabal of zealots."
But until the Iran-contra affair, Mr. Reagan enjoyed tremendous popularity. He used that popularity and a consummate political skill to push many of his major programs through Congress. And despite the affair, he crowned his two terms with a nuclear arms agreement with the Soviet Union that reduced the nuclear arsenals of both countries for the first time, setting the stage for a new relationship with the Soviets under the leadership of Mikhail S. Gorbachev.Read full obituary
Highlights from the Archives
A Champion of Small Government Who Helped Reset the World Stage
When he first entered the White House in 1981, Mr. Reagan was a vigorous 69-year-old Republican who promised a new ''morning in America.'' In his first term he restored much of America's faith in itself and in the presidency, and he rode into his second term on the crest of a wave of popularity. He used that popularity and a consummate political skill to push many of his major programs through Congress.June 7, 2004 usNews
A President Who Listened
I have just sent to Nancy Reagan a letter of condolence for the passing of Ronald Reagan. The 40th president of the United States was an extraordinary man who in his long life saw moments of triumph, who had his ups and downs and experienced the happiness of true love. It so happened that his second term as president coincided with the emergence of a new Soviet leadership -- a coincidence that may seem accidental but that was in effect a prologue to momentous events in world history.June 7, 2004 opinionOp-Ed

I would recommend Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog by Ted Kerasote. As a dog lover I really enjoyed it, but I am sure it would appeal to non-doggy types as well!
Submitted by jtinsky | March 4 2011 | Permalink
The Art of Racing in the Rain and One Good Dog are both fun and touching.
Submitted by Courtney | March 4 2011 | Permalink
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
Its a major tearjerker, and I have recommended it to both dog lovers and non-dog owners. Its a really moving story that shows the bond between dogs and owners, but also the ups and downs of getting older, marriage, personal changes, etc.
Of course, Marley and Me is a top contender for one of my favorites. The movie was really cute, but the book is even better!
I read with much love "My Family and Other Animals" by Gerald Durrell. It is a brilliantly funny auto-biography, that examines his childhood on a Greek island - and all the 'pets' that he brings into the home.
I am also surprised "Marley and Me" wasn't on your list! Another hilarious book I spent my time laughing through, and then stopped about 2/3rds of the way into trying to delay the inevitable demise of Marley. A very touching book, and definitely not just for 'pet people'.

Free to a Good Home by Eve Marie Mont and Stay by Allie Larkin!
If fiction is acceptable, I might suggest My Dog Skip by Willie Morris. It's a terrific story about growing up that I think many people could relate to. I think the best dog stories are the ones about people and dogs together.
I think Carolyn Knapp was a great suggestion too.
Submitted by Alice Knapp | March 4 2011 | Permalink
Thank you Karen... I love this book club, even though I don't get there often enough. I might read "Pack of Two" just because the author has the same last name as I do. I like your blog also. Alice
Submitted by Frank Eshelman | June 12 2011 | Permalink
Pack of Two is on my dog recommendation list. Definitely read it. I have a bunch of recommendations of books I have finished on my hypoallergenic dog food blog. Take a peek if you are interested. Enjoy your summer reading. I know I will.
Submitted by Jane | March 6 2011 | Permalink
I've read all the books suggested and would add to the list "Sighthound" by Pam Austin. It is fiction but has a similar vibe as The Art of Racing in the Rain.
Submitted by Kimberly B. Lawler | March 7 2011 | Permalink
DOG YEARS by Mark Doty; WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND, WOMEN WRITERS ON THE DOGS IN THEIR LIVES edited by Megan McMorris; AMAZING GRACIE, A DOG'S TALE by Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff; DOG IS MY CO-PILOT from the editors at BARk; and, A BIG LITTLE LIFE, A MEMOIR OF A JOYFUL DOG by Dean Koontz are some of the "dog lit" books I have happily recommended or loaned to friends.

Hi I just read a really great Dog & Family book "oogy" by Larry Levin I'm telling every one about it so enjoyable. Thanks Emily
Submitted by Anita | March 11 2011 | Permalink
I just finished Secrets of a Working Dog (www.bellatheboxer.com) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Figured other dog lovers would enjoy it as much as I did!

My book group met this week. As usual, some of us interpreted the theme very liberally, and some shared more than one book. We had a fun discussion and several books went home with someone other than the person who brought them.

Amazing Gracie by the founders of Three Dog Bakery precious!
Submitted by Colleen | October 11 2011 | Permalink
Highly recommend "Real Dogs Don't Whisper" http://www.realdogsdontwhisper.com
Very well written; it is a true story about special need dogs and the life lessons that they have taught the owner. And, the co-author is a spunky Lhasa Apso, Mr MaGoo, he is hysterical, and always enthralling.
Found on Amazon too
Submitted by sarahdg | January 22 2012 | Permalink
I would add to the list "Bark if You Love Me" and "Dreaming in Libro" both by Louise Bernikow. Also "What Wendell Wants" by Jenny Lee is hilarious. "Pack of Two" is on my list of favorite books ever!
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the name of a book I read a few years ago and am desperate to find again. It's a fiction book about a group of neighbors who live all on the same block in a city. Many of the neighbors have dogs, and the story follows their lives and interactions together. There is one dog-hating neighbor, and in the end she makes a surprising 180* turn in her attitude. I would really like to read it again, but I can't remember the name of it. It's possible that it was recommended in Bark magazine at one time (or maybe not). Can anyone help?

Gears of War 3 review
Gears of War 3 does something that few video game franchises have the confidence to do: it provides total closure, without teasing something for the future. There is little doubt that the Gears of War franchise will continue beyond the stories of Marcus Fenix and Co., but developer Epic Games isn't relying on cheap narrative tricks to continue the franchise. There's a level of confidence evident throughout the entire Gears of War 3 package that I wish more developers would employ.
It feels like Epic Games poured everything they could into one package, making sure each element was as high in quality as the last. There is no filler. Gears 3 is a product that is built to last, and it's the best action title on Xbox 360.
In order to defeat the Locust, the COG army used Hammer of Dawn strikes to incinerate entire cities. In Gears of War 2, players help sink the city of Jacinto, one of Sera's last human colonies, in order to squash the Locust threat. These strategies were short-sighted and childish. The "if I can't have it, no one can" attitude proved that humanity had no other choice for survival.
Gears of War 3 doesn't fall back on that idea. More than any other war-based game I've ever played, the characters appear tired and worn out. Emotionally, they're done fighting. They're damaged goods. You get an honest and sincere sense of how the war against the Locust and Lambent horde has changed the lives of these characters. When Gears of War 3 tries to get emotional, it works. Some of the core ideas are still silly, but it's a surprisingly touching story that's less about war as it is about finding a place to call home.
There are five acts in Gears of War 3 that can be played solo or cooperatively with three players. Unlike previous games in the series, the game doesn't fall back on shuffling players into dark caves (or inside giant worms). Utilizing enhancements to the Unreal 3 Engine, Gears 3 showcases new and colorful environments, the majority of which are outdoors. Simply put, the game looks brilliant throughout. The only oddity is that, as in previous games, areas don't look like organic locations on a real planet; they look crafted for encounters. It's easy to spot where someone on the design team said, "put a box there so someone can use it as cover!" Still, action is paced so well that it's more of an observation than a complaint. There are also a handful of bosses throughout the experience that, honestly, I thought all worked extremely well. More than that, they were fun and reminded me of strategic combat found in something like a Metroid rather than the typical and lazy "just keep shooting" idea we've seen so often.
Gears of War 3 includes the ability to play the game in "Arcade" mode, which scores players for kills, assists, and so on. Earning points fills a multiplier which quickly drains if any of your team goes down. Mutators can also be activated to change the game, in a manner not unlike Halo's Skulls. A lot of the ideas are great here, but I took issue with the amount of time it takes to unlock some of the coolest mutators. It would be nice if there was an ability to just have everything accessible so friends could worry more about playing the actual mode, rather than thinking about what's next on their tree of unlocks.
Horde has evolved, adding Tower Defense-inspired elements to the mode. Now, you earn money for kills and use this cash to purchase fortifications throughout the game's multiplayer maps. As you purchase and repair these fortifications between rounds, new items and upgrades are made available. It's punishingly harder than I remember the original Horde mode being, which I'm totally cool with. Each tenth wave is a "boss" wave, sending a swarm of random boss-types in your direction. In one instance, two Berserkers and a group of mixed Locust attacked us and we were quickly decimated by the group. When the wave restarted, a Brumak was our major boss enemy, picking us apart once again. In the beginning my group was silent and we couldn't beat the boss wave, but once we started to talk and make tactical decisions about where we needed to hole up and what fortifications we needed, we were much more successful in our endeavor to survive the Locust surprise party.
Beast mode is surprisingly well crafted as well. Here, players are given the chance to play as the various forms of Locust enemies. This is unlike anything in the series' past. Gears is about "stop and pop" whereas Beast is about constant rush and attack against the AI opponent. It also forces you to pay attention to progression. It's cool to play as a Armored Kantus who can roll into enemies, slicing them with his razor-sharp body. All of this, by the way, is happening on a 60 second timer that gains a few extra seconds for doing thing like getting kills. It's a great change of pace.
Multiplayer is back and, theoretically, it will perform better than Gears of War 2. Epic has decided to use dedicated servers this time around, but it's difficult to gauge that success until the game's release. Multiplayer has seen some changes since the beta. The Retro Lancer, for example, has a high kickback when fired from the hip. The actual gameplay strategy, I found, is essentially the same as it always has been. People rush toward you and fire active-reload-powered shotgun rounds in your direction while rolling around like a circus performer. It's not a knock against the game, but it's basically what every match turns into because it's successful. Hell, I do it too! I would like to see at least one playlist where people were unable to use the shotgun only if to force players into using any of the game's other, very awesome weaponry.
Gears of War 3 manages to offer players closure in a story that is more sincere and mature than what the series has attempted in the past. It's a great send off for Delta Squad, a clan of characters that we manage to like hanging out with despite themselves. Not only is the game longer than any title in the franchise's past--clocking in around 12 hours--it's also the best game in the series. Beyond that, the entire package is so well produced and exudes a level of confidence in storytelling and overall polish that Gears of War 3 is the best action game available on the Xbox 360.
[The Gears of War 3 review is based on a retail copy of the Xbox 360, provided by Microsoft. Microsoft also held a review event in San Francisco last week focusing on the game's multiplayer modes, which Shacknews attended. Shacknews paid for transportation to and from the event and accommodation.]

Did you get an email saying you were denied membership in SCBWI membergroup on the Blueboard? If you did, ignore it. During the merger we allowed people to "request" SCBWI membergroup status so we would know who needed to be added to that group. But Josh at SCBWI created a program to automatically give all SCBWI members their correct status. Those old requests have been cleared out, generating emails to some of you. I apologize for any confusion. <hiding under her desk> Verla Kay

Winter weather enthusiasts aren't the only ones welcoming the fresh fallen snow. Many metro businesses say they've been slammed since the flakes started flying.
Some call it a hassle, but to some, snow is white gold. Kyle Rafshol practically grew up in the front seat of his father's snow play truck, but the past few years have been a roller coaster.
"Obviously, two years ago, we had a huge winter," he recalled. "That was good for business. Quite a bit of plowing was done. Last year, I think we went out four times."
Winter's arrival this weekend kept Rafshol busy. He's been clearing driveways and parking lots non-stop for 48 hours.
"I just try and rest as much as I can before, then I'm good to go until the job is done," he explained.
For retailers like Jerry's Hardware in Edina, the storm brought a business boom as well as a change in scenery.
"Went to pull the snow blower last night and pilled it about 40 times before I figured, 'I got to get a new snow blower," Tyler Simmons told FOX 9 News.
Though ordering seasonal stock can be a bit of a gamble, Matt Bastian said weekends like this one pay off.
"This is the weekend we've been waiting for, where you just get a huge snowfall," he said. "Especially after last year where we had almost nothing."
It can be a tough balancing act to make sure the books stay in the green while betting on Mother Nature's whims.
"Some years it's a lot of money," Rafshol said. "Some years, it's broke."
Yet, there are other businesses who slow down when the snow comes. Though it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, the tree lots can actually be hurt by the very thing that puts many others in the holiday mood.
"No one likes to be out shopping for a Christmas tree in the snow," said Pat Peschel. "It definitely does slow things down."
The number of calls made to Triple A has more than doubled in the past two days -- mostly for trucks to tow stranded cars. No doubt, insurance agents and auto body shops are also doing a brisk bit of business thanks to the winter weather.

A growing number of young adults in the U.S. are waiting to get their driver's licenses. So some teens are turning to Twitter and Instagram to ask their followers to help them get around.
Carol Abraham, 18, from Yonkers, N.Y., does not have a driver's license.
"I was thinking about taking driving lessons soon cause I would like to have a nice car and get my license," Abraham said. "But at this moment, no."
And Samuel Brown, 21, from Eastchester, N.Y., waited a few years to get his.
"My friends and I didn't really need a car. So we never felt the need to go out and get a license for it I guess," Brown said. "Our parents would drive us around."
Abraham and Brown are not alone. A growing number of young adults in the U.S. are waiting to get their licenses. According to a recent University of Michigan study, in 1983, 69 percent of 17-year-olds had a driver's license. In 2010 only 50 percent did.
In another study, 31 percent of teens said they could hitch a ride with someone else, if needed.
Enter a new phenomenon on social media called cyber hitch-hiking. Basically teens enter their locations on Twitter or Instagram followed by the hashtag "INeedaRide" to ask their followers to help them out.
"This is the sort of glowing example of social media at its best. It's hey, I need a ride somewhere," said social media expert Chris Dessi. He added that the decline in teen drivers may have to do with a shift in how teens interact with each other, especially when it comes to their smartphones.
"It is a vehicle for communication, it is a digital vehicle," he said. "And if previously you leveraged your car to interact with other human beings and that's the way it went, and now this is a different way, could be."
As for the cyber hitch-hiking, Dessi warned that teens and young adults should make sure to check their privacy settings so only their friends can see where they are.
"Bad people do review this content. And bad people do check out where you are. That's why the privacy settings are so important," he said. "Be aware of it. And even if it's within your friend ecosystem, even if it's people that you know, you're don't necessarily know who they're friends with. So you need to certainly be aware of it."
Even though Tiffany Smith, 19, doesn't have her license yet she said she plans to get it soon. She said she also plans to watch out for other teen drivers.

It's usually a sad thing when professional athletes stay too long. Watching Muhammed Ali get pummeled by Larry Holmes, Joe Namath hobble around in a Rams uniform and Willie Mays stumbling through his last season with the Mets were not pretty things to witness. For every Barry Sanders or Wayne Gretzky who retire while they can still function...we get a Michael Jordan laboring as a Wizard or Johnny U as a Charger. The latest example will probably be Manny Ramirez who is attempting a comeback with the Texas Rangers. The 41 year old went 1-3 as the DH for AAA Round Rock on Sunday. Ramirez, who helped Boston win the World Series in 2004, hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2011 when he tried a comeback with Tampa. He also tried a comeback last year with Oakland that didnt take. He recently finished a three-month stint with a team in Taiwan. As a Red Sox fan, I always enjoyed watching Manny hit, even though his act did get tiresome after awhile. He says he's grateful for another chance to play the game he loves. You often hear athletes say they would play "for free" because they love the game so much...well in this case it's true. Manny will donate his league minimum salary of $500,000 to charity and his church. Good Luck Manny...but I'm not holding my breath that this turns out well
