(((Maria))) I don't even know what to say--you know I'm thinking of you and your family.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was supposed to be driving to Ithaca tomorrow, but I'm uncertain whether the roads will be safe. The road from here to there is mostly through a state forest, and it looks like it's alongside water. Not too many towns around there, so probably not a high priority.

Dear Universe, the following people are not on your route anymore: Maria and her entire family. Also, all buffistas. Go elsewhere. Like Pluto.

And good work, district, letting her off on a block with no sidewalks, both-sides parking, and a company with big trucks in and out of their parking lot (and usually blocking the street!) all the day.
Amy, the bus driver could have just let her out at a random location, saying "'Get off my bus. I have other things to do and I'm trying to get home.'" [link]
The school system says this person is no longer a bus driver. I don't know why she's still employed.

Because books.
Oh my god, Ginger. What the fuck?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Dang. If I were one of the parents I'd be asking the principal if he/she would be firing the driver immediately, or if I'd have to bring the police into it and press child endangerment charges.

And in mememe news, I was just in a car crash on my way home from errand running. My totally-paid-off-for-10-months Civic is, IMO, completely totalled--I see no way that they'll consider this fixable for anything under the Blue Book value. Only good thing is that it was completely the other guy's fault (he turned right in front of and I couldn't stop or swerve to avoid him due to traffic). Guess I'll be spending my Saturday car shopping.
Damnit. I wanted to be car payment free for the next ten years.

Yikes, Kathy! I'm glad you're okay, but that SUCKS. I'm so sorry.
