Middle of the week

Hey, I am up, not going swimming and it appears the rest of the hood is sleeping still too! I see our almost accurate newspaper guy almost got the paper near my step today. At least he got it here, seems to me since we got a new delivery person the delivery of the paper is hit or miss. There is a couple great fall festivals going on this weekend, there is the Kingstowne Fall Festival down by Panera from 10-2 PM and a few others around here, I am going, for the first time to Art on the Avenue in Del Ray. It should be awesome, check out the website: http://www.artontheavenue.org/

Let's see, what else is going on? Weather is still good, kids still outside playing, that always makes putting them to bed a bit easier. No new babies in the hood yet, but we are on watch for Lisa and Mike. I see the triplets are not back from their trip to NYC, I bet they had fun.

I haven't been walking with the dog in the afternoons to see the couple of cars that pull up and load about a dozen kids in their cars after they get off the school bus, but I will try to catch that sight again. That was the final straw that led me to start this blog. Hellooooo??? Must have children in seatbelts, kind of a big deal law. And, how far away do you live that you have to drive your kid(s) to the bus stop?? The elementary school is just up the road, for how much you drive you could walk them to school right? I will get to the bottem of this, plus, they keep their cars running and the fumes are gross. (see I can be a bit snarky on this blog and get away with it)
