So, are you right-eyed or left-eyed?

I'm left-eyed. I noticed it years ago. I always assumed it was because my left eye is stronger than my right eye. If it's rooted in brain chemistry, who really knows why my left eye is dominant, or -- according to this article -- it's likely that your right eye is dominant.

A few years ago, the Cabell County school system bought a lot of buses built by AmTran, now known as IC Corp. A few years after that, it bought buses from Blue Bird. Now it's buying from my youngest son's favorite company, Thomas Built Buses. We've even soon at least one of the new HDX series from Thomas Built here in Huntington. The HDX is Thomas Built's newest model in the Type D series, also known as transit type or, as my son calls them, flatnose.

The kid is seven years old, and his favorite reading material is literature about school buses. We have it from Thomas Built. I really need to contact IC Corp. and Blue Bird sometime to get info on their CE and Vision lines, respectively.

Tonight, we're going on a small expedition to get photos of school buses for a report he has to write for his first grade class.

I'd rather he be crazy about school buses than about baseball or hockey.
