Every day, we get concerned about the age of the school buses in this county. You've got to keep in mind that they're built as buses to start with, and they carry young people who may not treat them as if they were their very own, so to have these buses running 13 or 14 years ... is not the best way to do business.
As I told one parent, we appreciate the generosity, but every drop of fuel that we put in a bus is fuel that could have gone in an ambulance or emergency vehicle trying to help the relief effort.

We try not to match them up if they're in the same league. We try to never have a first-round game between teams in the same league. We'd have a great crowd, we'd make a lot more money, but we'd probably switch the lower seeded team.
The problem for the U.S. is that the economy is growing faster than the rest of the world, and, therefore, our demand for imports far exceeds the demand for our exports by other countries.
We turned the ball over too much, which helped (the Bulldogs) with their run, but they played well defensively and we just didn't play well enough to beat a good team like that.
We think it (interest in absentee voting) is going to go up and might be slightly higher than we anticipated, maybe 10 percent or 15 percent higher.
We're going north, wherever the storm isn't going.
I've never known anyone that is a better manager of people or is a harder worker than Kessel. His willingness to jump in and help take on public-private partnerships is legendary.
