Yep, that's the way it is in this part of the world. The high school my son attended had to double the size of it's parking lot - no additional students, but more students driving to school with cars given to them by mom and dad. The expansion of the parking lot cost the taxpayers a bundle because it had to meet county road specifications.

Sparky, that dog looks like the one we had for 17 years, a small boxer with floppy ears and a bobbed tail.
