Why don't these kids walk to one house or another and wait together? When I was a kid waiting for the bus, half the neighborhood would walk to one place and we'd all wait together.

I don't understand that either I pass a stop on my way to work that has 3-5 kids at it on the right side of the road and 25-50 ft down the road a kid stands alone on the left side of the road and one street further parents sit in their car with another kid.

I don't understand parents sitting and idling their cars for the kids waiting on the bus. you might as well drive the kids to school it is better for your car.

I did not drive yesterday because when I awoke weather app said 80% chance of thunderstorms and rain 40-70% throughout the day. I had a meeting that ended at 7:30pm and wife asked me to not ride home in a dark. I did not think it would be big deal but the threat of storms I made the choice to drive. of course it did not rain all day


all in all a great ride in this morning though. Greenway is pretty much open and it cuts out 2 big hills... I have surpassed mileage from last September!
