Beautiful weather this morning for the first time in nearly two weeks, sunny and a little cool with temps in the low 50s. The high is supposed to reach low 80s this afternoon and about 90 the rest of the week.

School buses were my challenge this morning. First, a bus passed me with inches to spare on a 4-lane road in which the driver easily could have stayed wide. All that so the driver could reach a red light 2 seconds faster, and then it came to a full screeching stop at a RR crossing, forcing me to stop as well. I shot the driver a bird but doubt if he/she saw it.

About 2 miles later, another bus stopped in the middle of the road to wait on a tardy student who was taking their time getting out of bed. Traffic was backed up both ways, with no child in sight. The stupid thing is the bus driver could have easily pulled out of the roadway so it wasn't blocking traffic.
