One rainy afterno...I can commiserate with you Alan. One rainy afternoon during a down pour I went to the elementary school to pick up my 8 year old daughter. I also offered a ride to one of her friends down the street but she didn't know me and declined. Probably rightfully so, but I was saddened. Times have changed and Meridian has changed even faster, seemingly, but I take it with a grain of salt. After all my 12 year old son was probably one of those you passed by but he is a true Idaho kid, trudging off to school in 15 degree weather in shorts and a down parka. The schools do shut down whenever the conditions become too severe for the students who walk, the last time I can recall was December 1990 when temps went down to -25. The kids can survive the weather, but they may not survive a ride from the wrong person and there has been another alert just this month about a suspicious individual around Meridian High. Let it go, just another sign of the times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
