I walked 15 miles in knee deep snow while being
attacked by muskrats.




The kids I teach would get killed if they tried to
walk or bike to school in today's city.
Way too many cars going too fast.

I walked and rode my bike. 2 miles to elementary.
3 miles to Middle (Junior HIgh) School (all one way). High school
I got rides with others in cars. The big diff. we went
in groups and neighborhood kids all knew each other.
And there was no significant traffic.

Transportation via bus is a huge cost for our school
district. Finding drivers was the hardest part. Now we
will have to double load some of these buses with
kids from elementary, middle and high school. Could
be more bullying going on. Kids will have to get up
earlier, wait longer to get to school. Then when they arrive
the High school kids will be very early on some routes.
