When I wuz a kid, I lived on the same block as my elementary school, and four blocks away from my junior high school, so I never went to either place except on foot.
My high school, on the other hand, was several miles away (I lived in the East Bronx, while the high school was in the West Bronx). On most days, I walked a few blocks to the bus stop, caught a bus, rode a few miles, transferred to another bus, and then, finally, walked a few more blocks to the school. But occasionally, some neighbors who drove to work would offer me (and some other kids who went to the same school) a ride. Compared to my usual trek, this was pretty cushy. One of my neighbors was a taxi driver, so once or twice I went to high school in a taxi. On the other hand, I never got a ride FROM school. I took the bus, or the subway, or I walked. (Of course, when it snowed, I'd walk the whole distance, barefoot, so I'd have something to tell my grandchildren...) Those were the days... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul T.
