Yes, life is busy.

Yes, you’re late to work ... again.

Yes, crosstown traffic is moving like molasses this morning.

Yes, many daily deadlines loom.

Yes, Junior is screaming his head off in the back seat.

Yes, going around that school bus stopped ahead is OK ... just this once.

No, it’s not – not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

As school officials and police officers join together to discourage those who choose to pass bright yellow buses stopped with their red lights flashing, it’s time for local motorists to take a deep breath and open their bleary eyes.

Keeping young

bus riders safe is worth slowing life’s crazy pace just a bit.

So stop and smell the roses – and maybe save a life, too. RHR
