March 1, 2008 Run

It was very nice weather for a run. We had Amy, Jill, Jeena, Carla, John, Michelle, Doug, Jason B., Kelly, Kami, Kristin, Lauren, Brittanie and Jason L. We had not seen Jason L for a while. He was in secret training. It seems Andrea did not answer the door when Kristen came over... we missed you.

The run was two Fruita Loops-10 miles a loop. Some went for one loop, others one loop plus some and others two loops. We had a nice stop with drinks and the signs that were ran over last week had been replaced.

The questionof the run...why school buses are yellow-Per Wikipedia..

School bus yellow is a color which was especially formulated for use in United States school buses in 1939. The color is now officially known in the U.S. as National School Bus Glossy Yellow and was originally called National School Bus Chrome. In April of that year, Dr. Frank W. Cyr, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York organized a conference that established national school-bus construction standards, including the standard color of yellow for the school bus. It became known officially as "National School Bus Chrome." The color was selected because black lettering on that hue was easiest to see in the semi-darkness of early morning.... there you go, it is about the lettering.
