gehringer_2 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 At the elementary down the block the number of kids walking away in the afternoon is literally a few hand fulls, while the lines of cars snake three blocks down the street in both directions - so the ratio of walkers is pretty low here.

CMRivdogs Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Actually, it seems to be our kids that do that (I'm old). I really can't speak for my generation since I needed to be in the "office" by 5:30 most mornings. We did do a lot of daycare drop offs, however.

It was the middle of the energy crisis. Parents went apeshit because they had to send their kids to school in the dark in January. I was a kid. I didn’t care, I was already up delivering newspapers around the neighborhood in the dark and on foot by 6:00am. Nobody fretted about me doing that. 4:30? Where are you? Is that TRAVERSE city?
