Well, that and lavender.

Meanwhile, I've been investigating what it would take or cost for Davis to have a school bus that would be able to transport the kids who live on the other side of the train tracks to school. It looks like it would cost probably at least $80k per bus - not cheap.

Apparently Davis used to have school buses and gave them up at some point! It seems pretty unbelievable now.
