Somehow this is reminding me of the Henry Ford museum, which contains among so many things the Rosa Parks bus. The Henry Ford was the site of my daughter’s high school prom, but required chaperones to prevent attendees from sneaking onto the bus to make out.

There were five kinds of dinos in the dino oatmeal that my school-aged son ate every morning for years and years. Sweet Lord, they still make it. Kid is 32 now!
