Spring is in full swing in the south. I have the good fortune several times a week to be on the local college campus in my town. It is way different from the sterile, concrete fortress where I went. Here the azalas and pear trees are in bloom and the campus is a flowering picture.. My observation is about the students. Their modes of transportation are walking, skateboards, electric bikes even roller skates sometimes.
What concerns me is their casual indifference to traffic on the campus streets. The speed limit is ~15mph yet the students seem oblivious to the cars, school buses and construction trucks. Many just dart out into the designated walk ways with their phones in front of their faces. I'm not pinging on young adults but the disregard for their own safety is baffling.
Otherwise being on campus is a delight and the eye candy is abundant.
