Until I entered HS in a town 8 miles away. 6 miles, I would have walked. 8 is too much. ;-)
Really though, from age 10 (we moved to the edge of the small town my grade school was in [I had previously attended a one-room school house and the first year parents took turns driving kids to the school all 12 of us in grades 1-3]) until 14 and entering HS I also hand-delivered around 50 newspapers on the way to school. Made for a very circuitous walk.
I know it's hard for those of us of about her age but Lisa Marie Presley's father was a drug addict, she was married to Michael Jackson who was a drug addict, and she was married to Nick Cage who, if not then a drug addict, was surely the sort of companionship that would drive one to drugs. The first two both died of overdoses, Michael in his 50s and The King at _42_. I have a feeling the Banana and Peanut Butter Sammiches on White Bread could also have been a factor.
Qualified Immunity should be Disqualified everywhere and always.
"Did you walk to school, or carry your lunch?"
Uh huh. Yup.
