Considering the recent bridge collapse in China, I'll pass, thanks. https://www.msn.com/en-us/urban-infrastructure/transportation-infrastructure/brand-new-bridge-in-china-collapses-months-after-opening/ar-AA1QeLNl

Good for you!!!

For what they're advertising the starting pay as, I can't imagine a lot of folks wanting to go through all that.....

Thanks for the info, Cypress. I looked up my county and one of the school areas. Apparently there isn't a bus available for those kids. That's really unfortunate. The county I'm in is desperate for bus drivers. Lots of advertising on the county website for bus drivers.

Thanks for the info. I neglected to take lack of funding for busses into account. This is not a rural situation. No busses in that situation I could understand. This is in the middle of an urban area. Unfortunately, one of these schools I passed is directly across the street from the municipal police/fire/ambulance station. I can only imagine what a disaster it would be if they had a major alarm at school pickup time. We walked in elementary school. It was about a mile up hill home. The only time mom picked us up was when the weather was really horrific. Middle school was about 8 miles and I found walking home to be faster than taking the bus. The bus stop was down hill at the elementary school and the bus usually passed me as I was turning the corner towards the house. I didn't get a bike until high school. That was 3-ish miles away and I rode it bad weather/good weather didn't matter. I was hit by a car once on my way to school. I was crossings a street and they didn't stop at the stop sign. Destroyed the bike and shook me up a bit but I made it. They have since blocked off that road so you can't turn on to the busy roadway any longer. Thanks for the info.

I was stuck at the office a little late today. I got out just in time for pick up your kids from school time. Every elementary school I got near had traffic down the streets and around the corners for a considerable distance. Dozens upon dozens or adults in cars were lined up to pick up little Johnny or Suzie from school. In a couple of cases, they had to have Sheriff's deputies directing traffic because of the amount of cars and traffic congestion. Why??? Is there a reason why elementary school kids can't take busses? The amount of traffic issues and headaches caused by this, let alone the amount of fuel all these vehicles are burning just sitting in line idling blows the mind. Please explain this to me.

I have been following this on X. They have promised periodic updates following Sue as she grows up.

Some amazing keyboard work here.

Don't go to Costco then............... This was Costco YESTERDAY.

RIP Mr. Curry. Thanks for all the laughs.

Every day is dog day in this house. Happy dog day from Josie and her buddy Zoe.

Rest In Peace, dear lady. You have touched so many. You will be truly missed.

We also had, Dr Demento on "The Mighty Met" KMET Los Angeles. When he retired, he bought a house literally around the corner from Uno and I in the greater Long Beach area. We got to meet him when he did a fundraiser show at the clubhouse for our community pool. He was a really great guy. He would to a spectacular model train set up for Christmas in his front picture window.

As for the napalm, I thought I saw her put garlic, onion, chili peppers and some other root into the blender. Once blended and scooped into the bowl, she added ground horseradish, some other ground substance, sugar and soy sauce?? Does that seem right? Napalm is an understatement.

Fall starts here in the beginning of November. Winter is one week in early January, then we start to warm up and get wet again.
