When I was in 4th grade, were were taking a field trip and we had three buses all following each other. At a railroad crossing the first two buses stopped and the third one couldn't stop fast enough and hit the second bus, which was then pushed into the first bus. I was on the third bus, and it was quite a hard stop. A few of my friends had to be taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

Glad you were safe. It's safer to fly then drive.

There have been a few cases in elementary school where my bus (either a minibus or van) was hit by another vehicle. Everyone was okay, though.

Here's a Route map of the 505

PDF is required. The incident occured on Kentucky and Atlantic Avenues. This is a pretty busy section of Atlantic City.

Speaking of public transit, my friend was on a bus that broke down the other day. He was on bus PG (Penn Hills-Universal Flyer) through the Port Authority of Allegheny County (around here, the bus term "flyer" indicates direct service to/from Downtown Pittsburgh). He had to wait an hour for another bus to come, on top of the traffic getting home!  :o

Does anyone find some of the songs on the LF to fit the narration? One example is "Dancer" by Brian O' neal.
The orchestral background can be heard directly after the CC narration but the time-in sounds awkward in the beginning if u have satellite
. On the IS, it sounds nice.

That reading is from a personal weather station, so it's possible it's not very accurate. Currently, Atlantic City is officially reporting 93.

The sun is probably shining on the station, hence why it's recording that high temperature. Those wunderground stations don't report as accurate conditions as the airport sites, since the airports use more expensive equipment.

Since it's so inaccurate, does anyone recommend me removing my Wunderground sig?

Maybe you could change it to the Atlantic City Int'l station. It's not that far from where you live.
