Spring Break is Over

No more befriending flamingos at Sea World, as this Oakhurst student did last week. It’s back to the old routine for students and parents alike!
Thanks to Sandi for the photo.

Traffic was a nightmare today. Couldn’t you al have stayed in Florida a lot longer?
I always find it odd that only 20% of households have kids, but they contribute to so much of the daily commute traffic. Is it because people with kids make up a larger % of total commuters or just that a slight reduction in congestion makes our major arteries feel much more fluid than usual?
I don’t think people with kids make up a high proportion of commuters (but that may be a question that someone else can answer definable). It seems to me the small reduction in cars on the road during school holidays, makes for a much improved commute on those days.
It”s not just the people with kids, it’s also all the teachers and other school employees who were off the road last week.
Love the picture…very cute!

I think the commute time was negatively impacted when Decatur changed from a K-5 neighborhood school structure to the K-3, plus 4-5. When Decatur was K-5, there were significantly fewer kids crossing the major Decatur arteries to get to school in the morning. Combine that volume with the middle and high schoolers… well, you will see a significant traffic slowdown
You might want to think twice about wearing pink around a flamingo. They’re likely to mistake you for a giant shrimp and nom you.
So THAT’s where my flamingos are!! They better get their feathery butts back here soon, my front yard is looking kind of bare.
I don’t know why, but CSD is to blame.
That’s an incredible photo. What a lucky girl she is to have that kind of close-up encounter.
