Hoofin' It to School

Hey, I had to walk 20 miles in the snow without shoes, etc, etc.

Now let's see, trillions for wars, billions for banks, blah, blah, blah, blah!


"Fewer school bus stops could save gas

East Lyme students will soon be walking a few extra blocks to catch the school bus, part of a plan to save thousands in gasoline costs. The school district is cutting almost 200 bus stops from its daily routes, saying that a consultant estimated up to $10,000 could be saved in fuel costs. The change affects students from kindergarten through high school. Superintendent Paul Smotas says that reducing the number of stops cuts down the buses' total travel time, which cuts down on gasoline usage (AP)."

The first time a kid is kidnapped by a perv will be the end of this great idea to help "save fuel."
