These are called temp files; they are files that end in "tmp" and are created when you open a document and are contantly updated as you revise the document. They often have weird names such as "~bt00099.tmp" and are erased when you close your document. You would never think to look for them...

...taught herself this craft while in Europe, and apparently, she is quite skilled: the black dress she was wearing is a product of her handiwork. She also keeps a cat and is a playfully self-conscious about taking up the habits of, in her words, "a weird old lady." Deal is well aware of the contrast between this placidly domestic activity and the intensity of the rock and roll she plays so many nights of the year...

...circa 1997? The Big King has 75% more beef than the Big Mac, an extra 12 grams of fat (yum!) and no soggy third bun in the center. Most important, it has cost just 99[cents]. Such a simple strategy--more food for less money--contrasts with McDonald's weird pitch for the Arch Deluxe (the "grownup" burger that has flopped so far) and its recent 55[cents] promotion, a complicated scheme in which customers paid 55[cents] for the Big Mac and certain other sandwiches when accompanied by the purchase of any size beverage and fries except...oh, never...
