ALL M&I

If I live for work a little too early in the morning, I meet the school bus … and in America, you must stop for the school bus, in both road directions! Today was OK, because the bus had already been up route 133 from Gloucester to Essex, and was now coming back, so only a short wait; much longer delays result when I meet the bus still going up the road, because it (and me and all the other cars) stop after few hundred yards to let more children get on.
Not complaining – there’s no sidewalks in much of America and the bus is a safe way for them to travel! I just have to remember not to go to work too early 😉

Once a year, Massachusetts registered cars have to be state inspected – this is nothing like as thorough as the English MOT, it mostly involves connecting a computer to check that the car’s engine reports no emissions issues, and then removing $29 from the owner!
GBMINI#6 was due in January, but I slipped, and finally got to it today …

She passed, of course 🙂
