***Interesting question brought up by this article: Why don't school buses have seat-belts? 23-million kids take a bus to and from school every day, and according to the Nat'l Highway Traffic Safety Administration, out of 26-thousand bus crashes over the past decade, there have only been 10 deaths. That makes a school bus one of the safest vehicles on the road.

Starting Thursday, Disney World in Orlando will raise its one-day, one-park adult ticket to $82, up 3.8% from the current $79. Park hopper passes go up $2 to an additional $54 for one-day. Is this increase something you understand in today's economy, or is Mickey getting a
little greedy?

JOKE OF THE DAY
One night, a wife found her husband standing over their newborn baby's crib. Silently, she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, skepticism. Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes glistening she slipped her arms around her husband.
"A penny for your thoughts," she whispered in his ear.
"It's amazing!" he replied, "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like this for only $75!"
