I pass a couple school bus stops on my commute on a regular basis. One morning I apparently looked like
a good target for some rock throwing practice. At first, I didn't know exactly what was pelting down around me
until one connected with my helmet and shin. Being a bit late on my commute to work I mumbled some invectives
and raced on.
The next day, same time and place (but not late for work) and knowing what to watch for, I saw the same youths
reach down for some more rock practice. I slowed and stopped very near the school bus stop and looked directly at them
until the bus arrived (didn't say a word - just waited). They dropped the rocks. When the
bus arrived I watched them get on the bus, waved "have a good day" then proceeded on to work.
When I pass by now, they "wave hi" - nicely.
