schools back...

Have you ever floated a leaf down a creek in the country, or watched a gum wrapper meander along the rain? it's peaceful. sometimes watching students can be like that. better when you can't hear them.
Students en masse are like water. slow moving water... they will find the path of least resistance. not always the fastest way, but without fail, the easiest. so if you want a pleasent stroll stick with the students. if you want to get somewhere quickly, maybe find another way..

I haven't caught a train consistently since i left high school. i have recently started catching the train to work three days a week, on the smae line that i used to catch in school. this morning, now that school is back, i was surrounded by fortians (Fort St students - once a fortian, always a fortain) as i got off the train. the scary thing is that they were instantly recognisable by their uniforms. in my day (when we had to walk up hill 5 miles both ways in the snow just to get to school...) Fortians were conspicuous for their lack of uniform... how times have changed....

that is all. just a little trp down my memory lane..
