Kids in San Diego have been back in school for several weeks, but in our day school started in mid-September -- as God intended. The rich kids went to the Financial Office and bought snazzy plastic book covers. The rest of us used grocery bags from Menlo Market.
If you had a car, you could put a decal in the back window -- and
hope it wasn't off-center.
