A quick glance at this motorcycle shows a little boy holding onto his mother as they cruise along…

A second glance, though, from a little different angle, shows that there are TWO little boys riding behind their mother, and the bigger boy’s arms are making sure the littler one stays right where he belongs.

There is a large high school behind the trees in the photo above, and more than a year ago the city started to build a pedestrian overpass for the students to get over a really busy intersection. Then came the pandemic and the schools were closed–and the overpass construction stopped. Now the schools are reopening and the construction is resuming. Why they didn’t finish the overpass BEFORE the schools opened? Who knows.
