Be Like the Van

Driving home today feom the Moellers, there were storm clouds just as we were entering Texas.

Ashlyn asked why the GPS changed to night mode. I explained the van detected it was dark outside so it said, "Time to turn on the lights."

Ashlyn responded, "The van didn't say anything, it just did it."

Angie jumped in by responding, "Thats how it should be. We should all be like the van-Don't say anything, just do what needs to be done."

Police Chase with the Bus

Lots of neighborhood cars keep ignoring the flashing red lights and protruding STOP sign on the bus. They pull out and around the school bus, passing the bus while it's actively loading and unloading kids. One day when Meggie the regular driver picked up Jacob and Ashlyn in the morning she said a cop car must be trying to catch those people because it had been following her the entire route.

Ashlyn's said this when she got off the bus in the afternoon:
The police followed us all the way around Legends Ranch today on the bus. Then we got away. We went really fast out the back gate so the police can't find us anymore.

I think she thought the bus driver escaped the police.
