Supposedly that schedule arose in pre-AC Washington when August was unbearably hot and muggy. Hello? AC?<br /><br />And those drivers? Yep. They don't even have to be slower than the speed limit -- just slower than the traffic flow is enough to get everyone steamed. I noticed a lot of them when I was returning on I-81 in VA from Blacksburg. The left lane hogs tended to have New York and NJ license plates. I guess they thought that in 'rural' VA we wouldn't notice they were being selfish. Many of them were having very animated conversations on cell phones too. Hand held.

LOL<br /><br />I can't believe anyone starts school that early! What does it matter if high school students finish the semester out BEFORE Christmas??? What does Christmas have to do with anything? We don't start until Tuesday, September 7. With summer starting later each year (typically) and going further into the "fall" time, you'd think they would want to push the start date back. <br /><br />Thanks for linking up!Kmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008496338777404036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-3599623506423378672010-07-22T07:54:35.174-04:002010-07-22T07:54:35.174-04:00Starting school right now would stink!

In the UK people got tickets for that all the time. <br /><br />You guys do start so early...it feels like the middle of summer still. I don't think they go back til Labor Day here which means they go into mid June. In MD we started toward the end of August and got out end of May-that's my favorite schedule.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.com
