that about sums it up

I never heard of schools closing here because it was cold until about 2000. That's when the real pusification of America was starting. Now they shut the schools down if the temperature reaches 30 below. There was one time they shut down the schools I delivered to when it got too hot in the spring. I think that day it got up to 85.

Or that was when someone wised up and said what in the hell are we doing having kids stand at bus stops in 30 below temps?

School wasn't called off, unless there was 6 inches of snow on the ground. Never for temps. And I walked to school every day, just short of a mile for Jr and hs. Had to be over a mile away for the bus to pick you up. I turned out ok.

Morning Princess!

Afternoon, Chappy! I learned that lesson long time ago. Accept someone as they are or hit the road. Not fair to me or anyone else to have to change for me.

I tossed a good softball there.

It's the equivalent of letting kids ride around without car seats. No one is blaming the way it used to be. We just know better now.

When my granddaughter was about 6 months I thought I would be a smart ass and bring my daughter a roll of bubble wrap.

She was not amused.
