My quest today was to find and shoot things that were black and gold.  This was one of the few things I found…. there were street signs…. caution tape…not much else.  Why black and gold?  Because I was hoping the Pittsburgh Steelers would beat the NY Jets tonight and head to the Super Bowl.  Which they did, and they are.  Now  I  sit here wondering why school buses are black and gold.
I never really had to ride a school bus.  Not really.  In grade school, we walked most of the time.   But when the weather was all crappy…. like pouring down rain or something….. we’d pile into the family station wagon and Mom would take us.

In high school, I had to ride the RTA.  Regional Transit Authority.  (It was green and white, like the NY Jets.)  All the way downtown, with every other commuter in the world, every day, I rode.  I saw some crazy-go-nuts things on the old Number Seven Route, I’ll tell you.    I had a bus pass.  Most people had to put change in the R2D2 at the front of the bus if they wanted a ride.  Maybe, instead of the book “What Color is Your Parachute?”  I shall write one called “What Color was Your School Bus?”

That’s all I’m going to say about that.  And… Go Steelers.

Found the answer….for why…..I guess…..  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_bus_yellow
