Not Vacation Time For the Public School Kids Yet

Today I happened to be lucky enough to walk past the local middle school at lunch time. There were hundreds of hopped up youngsters everywhere the eye could see. There were a lot of 12 year olds flirting all around me as I ran for cover. There were plenty of geeky guys standing in groups of three trying to outgross each other with the tricks they could play with their food.

It didn't even occur to me that none of the kids were actually sitting down to eat. I assume the school has a cafeteria but all of the kids chose instead to empty out into the park and onto the streets. I climbed to my third floor apt. and took this photo of a few of them.


At least there weren't any of those "skateboarders" lurking around.
