Well, it is 7:38AM which means I'm going to have to chase the two little squirts around...and I'll have more about where I've been later. Plan on taking some pics on the way to school.
Back from taking the kids to school and my shots on the way in were with a Nikon Coolpix L11 so hence the reason why they're snaps.
On 96th there's an empty lot that has stood empty for several years. Until just this past month, where there's been a flurry of activity on it. It's evidently being turned into one of those new cheap construction but sells for 3/4 million big homes that takes up half the lot and they've cut down every damned tree on the lot. Figures.
I'm not too fond of the street 96th Avenue as it is one of the major east-west thoroughfares. They've made it double-lane and it's busy as hell. I tell my kids to walk well away from the curb. As you can see they listen quite well...yeah...right!
At least 132nd Street is a little quieter.
This is the monster house that I keep seeing as I walk down 132nd Street. This epitomizes everything I hate about monster houses. There's absolutely no taste to this home. It's big, it's friggin' ugly, and it's square...there's a small patch of grass that they try to pass off as landscaping...and otherwise they've cemented over the whole damned lot. In real estate terms I would call it a New Delhi Special as opposed to a Hong Kong Special.
Walking down the street towards my kids' school. I prefer this school due to the fact that the kids enjoy going to school there as opposed to going to the school in their assigned cachement area.
What really annoys me is that most of the traffic do not obey the posted speedlimit and persist in screaming through the school zone at a blistering 50-80 km/hr. And yet it is posted, plain as day, for everyone to see...
I guess the last generation raised a generation of idiots.
