The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Sept. 4, 2010

Meriden: there are lots of ways to beat the heat, but unfortunately, not many of them can be tried inside a school with 500 or 600 other folks around. Popsicles work for some, but this is the sort of situation to expect when school begins before Labor Day.

Wallingford: it is good that the school system has responded quickly and apparently successfully to the issues around bus schedules and pick-up/drop-off points. While merely peripheral to education and not central to the learning experience, no one should not forget that the “devil is in the details.”

State: the high cost of transportation congestion has been more than demonstrated. Can anyone need more evidence that the emphasis should go on mass transit in this small state where, absent congestion, people can get almost anywhere else within an hour?
