Tidbits

Thank you so much to everyone who has posted comments on this blog. I truly hope you will enjoy reading my stories.

I don't have much to share today but I do have some information I would like to give to you, especailly to those of you that are parents and may be using school bus transportation currently or may use it in the future.

Connecticut has been rainy for the past two days. Whenever we have an extended period of rain, parents always break out the rain slickers. The most common color for these slickers is yellow. From a bus driver's point of view, yellow is extremely dangerous. When children are dressed in yellow slickers, they blend in with the side of the bus which makes it difficult for oncoming traffic to distinguish between the child and the bus. In addition, when bus drivers look in the mirrors on the side of the bus, children in yellow slickers blend in with the sea of yellow they see. If a child is dressed in something other than yellow, they will stand out against the bus.

That is my tidbit for the day. If you need to purchase a rain slicker for your child, please choose another color. It may be the "safest" purchase you ever make!

Have a great day!
