I guess school is officially back in session. I could tell by the increase in traffic volume this morning. It was as if traffic volume doubled.
Makes me think a little. When I was a kid, mom and dad absolutely refused to drive me to school. I had to either walk or ride my bike. I realize it's not the same around Atlanta, at least in many places, because kids can't do that as safely as I could. But who is designing our communities this way?
(Well, the good side of this is that my average commute time was much better, comparatively speaking, because motorists were slower. In fact, they saw me passing them quite often.)
