Yeah, if I get behind one and there is an alternate route I can take, I will take it. They are a pain, although of course we all understand they have to be safe, its still a pain.

Re: Hurrah...school is finally over.
If I didn't leave quite early enough I used to regularly follow one down a road near Pulaski Manor as it picked up children, but after it headed onto a quiet country road, I was able to pass it most days, just after a sweeping left bend, by watching for traffic down the right-side, then as the road straightened, duck to the left, and accelerate down the hill where I had half a mile ahead clear view.
Those were the days, I don't go that way now little Miss P is at school.

The last week in August, I will fly up to New York and then fly down to Florida for her to spend a week with her Virginia cousins at my sister's house. We return just before Labor Day and then back to school that Wednesday after Labor Day. So her summer is filled to overflowing.

I do love the calmer roads on the morning and evening commutes, although the kids around here have already been off school for a few weeks now.

Re: Hurrah...school is finally over.
It's a PITA. Horrid time of year to be working... No A/C, hundreds of comps (literally) to be taken out, imaged or replaced. Servers stripped, New Switches / Fiber runs to go in above ceilings and through walls, while everyone else there gets 2 months off, then comes back and complains to the few of us left there that their break was too short. Bleh.

Re: Hurrah...school is finally over.
Today was the legally last day of school, if they had used up all of their snow days
