senoritafishCame in a bit later this morning because I'm going to a sportfisherman's club meeting tonight; they would like to know more about some upcoming possible changes to thresher shark regulations.
At one of the bus stops, an entire kindergarten class wearing several colors of bandanas around their necks,and their accompanying teacher and room parents (about 25 kids and six women) got on, to the amusement of many of the other passengers. There was much ooing and aahing and hey there's no seatbelts! when the bus began moving, and especially when we passed a big truck, wow that was cool! It didn't sound like any of them had been on a bus before - not suprising since this route starts in a fairly affluent area of Orange County. One of room moms who sat behind me told me the school district, whether because of funding or scheduling, couldn't provide a bus for their excursion. They pretty much filled up the entire bus, except for a few seats at the back, so the four men who got on at the next stop, after widening their eyes when they stepped aboard, chose to stand. The kids chattered until they arrived at the stop nearest the pumpkin patch at Goldenwest College, where they all trooped off and gathered into a neat little group by their chaperones. It was too cute.
I think it's a good idea; they should get used to using public transportation early.
