Am I crazy? (Don't answer that too quickly -- please allow me to make my
case.)
I walked up to the store today, which entails walking past a junior high
school. A sharp and heavy odor hit me as I rounded the corner. I glanced
at my watch, noticing that lines of school buses -- at least 20 -- were
already in the drive, to the side. A cluster of bus drivers were camping
out in lawn chairs eating sandwiches and smoking in a group behind one of
the last buses. It was 2:15. The buses were all running, idling. Did my
shopping, came back, around to the school buses which at 2:40 were still
sitting, all of them, every one, idling. I know for a fact that the school
dismisses at 2:45. What the hell? Is someone going to tell me that
there's a reason for those monster machines to be running for 30 minutes
waiting for the students? I'd love to know. Or not.
