A final random observation

I think being out of town means I actually pay attention to the world around me, but I keep on noticing interesting things.

Quite a lot of shops have a "No Tolerance For Truants" sign whose message is supposed to be: "bla-bla-bla if you hate school the problem is with you and not the school and larger society."

Anyway I saw one of those in a shop that sold Photocopiers.

Because if you can't go to the photocopy shop you might as well stay at school.
