Back to School Dayz in Putnam

The best way to notice that school has begun again is the change in the road traffic around the schools.

All summer long barely a vehicle passed me on my morning jog. I haven't felt fear of death or dismemberment in a few peaceful months!

However....dum dum dummmm.... now scores and scores of cars, minivans, SUVs whiz by my elbows and toes in the rush to get the kids to school on time, and then off to Dunkin Donuts of course.

Where is the school bus??? Ahhh, here it comes, and few kiddos are on board. Makes one wonder why we still have school buses. I adore the little old driver who always waves back to me, and I am glad he has a job, but it also makes me think that someday school buses will be passe all together.

Sharing the roads with the hurried, harried parents is all fine and dandy when you see those little smiling faces buckled in the back seats with their new backpacks and bouncy ponytails, ready for another day of fun that school days allow the young.

I am a Putnamaniac thanks to Back to School Dayz in Putnam!
