Tech Tip: Duck Duck Go

 I was so excited to hear about Duck Duck Go because it does not track you or sell your information! I am so sick and tired of advertisements popping up for things I have recently looked at and honestly it just makes me feel uneasy. It looks similar to Google in the way that it pulls "web, images, and news" and things like that. I was very interested when it mentioned bangs.

Her home was a little grey house on the edge of town with her mother and her younger brother Joshua. It wasn't much, but it was home. Each day Savvy would walk her brother to school and then go do chores for her mother. She had just turned twenty and began to catch the eyes of the single men in town. She was beautiful; golden hair as long as her back, blue eyes as clear as the river that ran through town, and the biggest smile you have ever seen.  Savvy's mother needed to go out of town to care for their sick grandmother. Savvy was not aware of the true meaning of her mother's trip however because she was told it was to settle some business. Her mother told her and Joshua to pick 1 thing that they wanted her to bring back for them. Joshua chose a new hunting knife and Savvy chose a bouquet o
