GASOLINE IS MY INCENSE
The Raymond Trujillo Memorial Car & Bike Show went off without a hitch today in Meridian despite the weird weather. The contest’s location moved to higher, dryer ground away from the mud made by showers on the Bosque Bottoms last night. Pictured here are the show’s winners of their individual categories before more rain scattering them moments later.

🚸 Back-to-School Safety: Slow Down in School Zones! 🚸

As a new school year begins, let’s all do our part to keep students safe. Whether you’re a parent, student, or commuter—these safety tips matter:

🔹 Slow Down – Always obey posted school zone speed limits. Children are unpredictable—drive with extra caution.

🔹 No Distractions – Stay off your phone. A moment of distraction can lead to tragedy.

🔹 Watch for Crosswalks – Yield to crossing guards and students. Never block crosswalks.

🔹 Stop for Buses – It’s the law: stop when school buses have flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended.

🔹 Follow Drop-Off Rules – Each school has specific procedures. Be patient and respectful of staff and other parents.

🔹 Be Alert for Bicyclists and Pedestrians – Especially in early mornings and afternoons when visibility and traffic are at their peak.

🔹 Leave Earlier – School traffic can slow your routine—leaving a few minutes early reduces stress and prevents risky behavior.

Let’s work together to make this school year safe for everyone. 🚦👮‍♂️🚌
