1. Boston Green Line B car

BU students will wait for 30 minutes to get on a packed train to go one short stop from BU East to Blandford street. This is something I just don't get.

3. What I do not understand is why kids are not walking to school.

We had to walk even in winter and that was in Maine. It was one mile to grade school so that means I put in 10 miles a week even if I did not go back to school to play. We usually could not go play unless we put on play things and took the dog with us so I had to go home from school first. In high school which was 6 miles away we had to get bus and that was 1/2 mile away.So we did a lot of walking. I went to school at BU and also walked alot. It was easier than taking the T. My children also walked to school yet they seem to all get rides now. All I hear is it is not safe for them to walk. Now for playing out side. Well please take a pic of a kid if you see them playing out side. We were told either go out and play and stay out or I will lock door. I do not think my mother ever locked door but I lived in fear she would. If it was cold, and Maine was, we were told to dress warmer. I also think eating habits have become odd. We had set times and both my parents worked(mother at home)but that seems to be gone so I see these young kids helping them selfs to food at all times and any thing they like. I am not sure that is the best way to get a good diet. Yes I am old so may be well out of it. I do not tell my children how to do it either. I mind my own business.
