I have a final followup for the time being (if I have any news to report
about the situation at my son's school, I will post then). I just thought
that in light of our recent discussions you might all perhaps groan along
with me at this....

AFTER dropping my son of at school the other day, and driving about 2/3 of
the way from his school to my daughter's school, I was taking a road I
don't normally take at that time of day because of a traffic problem
and... I got pulled over for exceeding 15 MPH in a school zone.

In my defense I can only say I truly didn't realize there WAS a school
zone there. I went back and looked for the sign later and I figured out
that I hadn't seen the sign because the cop who pulled me over had at the
time had his big-ass SUV parked in such a way that it blocked my view of
it (he had someone else pulled over as I approached - I had even slowed
down because I saw his flashing lights and he was partially blocking my
lane requiring me to turn my head to the left to ensure I could slide over
into that lane a tiny bit without cutting anyone off. So that's why I
missed the sign!). It wasn't a "real" school - it was a daycare inside a
church, but they do have a real "school zone 15 mph" sign, I just had
never noticed it before.

Whoops.

Lucky for me he just gave me a warning!
