... Lancia Beta coupe. Fiat took them over in '69 but even though I despise Fiat I had a lot of fun with this car. Mine was a '76.

Front seat or back seat?

Used to have a little Triumph, that car was awesome. Wish I had kept it. Sold it for almost nothing. No room for car seats in that car.

True story. I'm down at my mom's house in Central KY doing laundry today. I go out to bring the trash bin in. A school bus stops and drops off a kid at the house to the left of me, goes down and drops one kid off to the right of me not even 30-40 yards of where the first kid was dropped off. They never did that crap in any of the school districts in Virginia I went to. Total head smack.

Probably nowadays some folks are afraid their kid will get kidnapped, if they walk home from school.

Especially in the Bluegrass state. Not that I am one to talk though.

I understand but two houses down in a big subdivision with quarter acre lots? C'mon.

I disagree. Jasper, weren't you the one who said that you didn't want to be taking care of an old person? Perhaps you exposed those thoughts to him as well and now he feels that there is no future with you. Because of what you yourself have said.

What Hawk said.
I have witnessed the very same when following behind a school bus. When I was riding the bus the rule was a minimum of .2 of a mile between stops. Back then fuel was the concern.

Yep. And I have never said it to him. Just processed to myself. And it is the best choice. I know.
