I hear the crossing guards in Vegas are mobbed-up. :wink:Quote:

The only reason I didn't walk to middle school or high school was because they were too far away (high school I took a bus, but still had to walk 4 blocks to the bus stop).Quote:

anyone else remember Tang, lol
Oh my god that tasty drink.
Do they still do fire drills during school?
I still remember doing bomb drills in elementary school. Can you believe they actually thought you'd be safe during a nuclear strike by hiding under your desk? :w00t:
fire drills. tornado drills. and i walked to school. a mile. uphill. both ways. seriously.
I grew up in the era of guns in schools... Had a dumbass bring a pistol to one of the dances even. :/
I'm a youngin, but I still walked uphill both ways, in every condition imaginable. Still remember a day in freezing rain and getting to school with my pants frozen solid and my backpack taking all day to thaw, just to walk home in the rain. Good times. Kept me in shape at least :)
