We're surrounded by schools. Elementary school on our block, middle school across the Alameda de las Pulgas, and high school on the next block. They all seem to be starting on different dates. This AM when I was taking The Older Boy to work before 8, kids were already headed for the middle school, and traffic generally was much heavier than it's been. It's possible TOB and I might have to start earlier, which would suck. He started at this place in May, and didn't settle into the 8-5 shift until June, so we missed the congestion last year.
Personally, I think starting school before 8:30 is uncivilized.

He told KATU it was over a woman asking him to put out a cigarette.
The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the arrest but offered no further details.
The House Republican caucus said it is disappointed and encouraged him to focus on his family and “getting the help he needs.”
He needs help with smoking?

Back when I used to ride in the mornings before work I discovered that, during the school year, I HAD TO get out the door by 7:30, because even 5 minutes later and I'd be fighting minivans and SUVs for 2+ miles along the Alameda, all doing the slow crawl to find a place to drop off the kids. Then in June, it magically went away!

Oregon state Rep. James Hieb was arrested at the Clackamas County Fair on Wednesday night.
He told KATU it was over a woman asking him to put out a cigarette.
The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the arrest but offered no further details.
The House Republican caucus said it is disappointed and encouraged him to focus on his family and “getting the help he needs.”

Just got back from the doctor's office. I lucked out and got 'vacation doc'. The one who actually listens, and actually measures, and doesn't automatically know. My BP today was 100/60. With the normal doc its 120/80, because that's normal for a man my age. Same with pulse rate. 56 today, and 80 normally, because. Such a treat to get vacation doc once per year. I keep hoping......

Drivers are getting more crazy, even though they seem nicer when I'm on the bike.

School buses here have cameras too. The drivers are a very mixed bag.

In MN, at least, you need to stop if they're stopped, with lights flashing and/or stop sign extended, unless you're on the other side of a divided roadway.

Here too. I sometimes ask permission to pass if they’re waiting for “that” kid.

Also FWIW, I seem to hav read that no other country does our school bus and stop all traffic thing. Either our kids are dumber or our drivers are worse.
Or both, of course.

I like the first edition of the M coupe too. I'd consider it for the "fun car". But, I fear, I've missed the bottom of the depreciation curve.

They never depreciated much. Now I'd want more toys and so maybe the Z4 M Coupe (original only), but really... the GX does what I actually want from a car these days.
