Walk to School Month
$612 million dollars. It's hopeless. What will the tongue-clucking, hand-wringing, finger-pointers think of next? I swear my next car will be a Hummer. The big one.
Yes, Lucy, you are officially a good person. Maybe you can get some of that $612 million. You could use it to help those kids from North Norwich find a safe route.
Maybe I'm just cranky because that's $612 million more than they spend on Male Nurses' Month.
Well, duh, that's because those bad male nurses insist on driving to work! If they would just walk to the hospital like sensible people, they could get some money too.
I'm beginning to see real possibilities here. How about a month called Carry Your Lunch Month. After all, it would increase the exercise obtained from walking to school because you'd be carrying weight. There could also be an extra incentive for carrying an organic lunch, or one that has no "transfats", or one that was in a reusable container.
I could even see a bit of a competition between the two months. You'd have the Carry Your Lunch crowd and you'd have the Walk To School crowd. It would lend new and deeper meaning to the question, "Do you carry your lunch or walk to school?"

I walk to classes. Does that count?
I would loooove to be the one to tell the North Norwich kids that S-E will be celebrating Walk to School month next year!
