Reminds me of the time, I think it was TWC, where they were sitting in a boat in the middle of what looked like a rather large flooded area, only to have someone walk through the live shot showing the water was only a few inches deep
my kid doesn't take the bus. We are a 1 minute drive from school, in the AM she'd be on the bus for an hour before the bus dropped her at school. Its easier to drop off/pickup.
