Travels to the Good Ol Days

There was a time that traveling was a romantic quest. You would save up, have that amazing

trunk that would follow you around the world and be off on that ship to never never land.
You know how George Baily dreamed of all those stickers from exotic lands to be gracing the trunk he had chosen.

But now, traveling is quite simple. You just pick up your roll on luggage and go. It has helped with the airline business to be able to take your hartmann luggage right on the plane with you. Of course for those long long trips you will still have to check you tumi luggage in. It really helps to be able to store your briggs and riley luggage in each other when your at home too. I know that we used a small roll on suitcase for my college girl when she was in high school. It replaced her backpack and made it so much easier on her tiny back then lugging all that weight around. School officials did not like that much but with a note from her doctor (easy to get) they had to let her use it instead of damaging her back. So do you still have an old steamer trunk? Or do you go light and easy with your stream lined luggage?

Who took the Lockers?

Our schools have offered a helping hand around here.
They are offering breakfast and lunch to all kids in our area.
That will provide some much needed meals for many.

I thought I would pop up and see if there was a way to help out.
Of course there is always a way to help.

But, in doing so I found out something that surprised me.
There are not any school lockers!
Yeah, they have taken out every locker for the students.
I am not sure where all of their books and things are to be kept?
I know that the back packs keep getting heavier and heavier.
I wonder if they put in the smaller lockers that would just hold their school books if it would work. You could put in 18 triple lockers where 6 full size lockers were.

Is this happening where you live?
What is the reason for removing them?
I don't think this is a good thing to do. It would be awful to have to always carry your backpack all day long. And I bet it could do damage to a students back.
Is there a better solution for the students?

Well I looked around and did find that the gym lockers are still there.
Thank goodness for that.
I would hate to have to add sweaty gym socks to the already full backpacks.

Hey?
I wonder if there is a locker for sale?
I would like to put a locker in my garage?
That would be a great storage idea.
