Lately on the days I work in the office, I've been loading both girls into the car and driving The Dormouse to the bus stop. It makes me feel like the ultimate Ugly American to drive a only half a block, but dayum, it's cold outside and hauling my one year old all the way around the corner just to turn around and get back in the car seems pointless because once The Dormouse gets on the bus, we just continue on down the same road we were stopped on. It might not be the greenest of choices because I am wont to run the heater as long as we're in there. But there are some nice opportunities for pictures. Now if I could just get all the neighborhood kids who have to wait outside in the cold to stop banging on the car windows.

poor freezing kids. reminds me of the children that knock on your windows to sell you stuff while waiting to cross the Tijuana border back into the US.

@Debra: Oh, you just brought back a hundred memories. "Chicle? Caremelos? Chicle? Caremelos?"
@Brian: Hey, what do you expect? Even the President thinks we're pansies here in Washington.
