Ndinonzwa kuti ndaifanira kushanda nesimba kune zvose zvandinazvo, uye ndinofunga kuti vakadzi vakawanda vanonzwa nenzira imwe chete. ini kuti ndiite zvinhu zvandaisatenda kuti zvinogoneka. "

Nyaya iripo: Kupedzisa mazhinji eupenga akakwira makomo eColorado iye akafamba uye akasvetuka pasi zvaida kumuka kuma11 manheru. kusvika kumusasa wepasi pa2 am uye kukwira nzvimbo yakaoma kuenda kumusangano mangwanani.

Zvakaitwa naMahoni zvakawedzera paakaenda kuAspen-taundi iro raanotsanangura sekuti rinogarwa nevanhu vakajairika, kwete vatambi vanobhadharwa, vanoiita nzira yehupenyu kubuda nekuita zvinhu zvinoshamisa.
