I swear it's like living in a small town with deserted streets when schools are closed. I love it!!!

Summer vacation can't come fast enough! (My wife, who stays home with our 2 kids, has a different opinion on this matter hahaha)
It's crazy, how many parents drive kids to school in private cars. It's a waste of resources, and it contributes to traffic congestion and collisions. It wasn't always like this. And parents think they're keeping their kids safe, when actually, they are the danger they think they're creating.
