Ah! - Now we're getting somewhere! I fault the bus drivers and food -
service workers.
The bus drivers are setting an awful example by sloppy mileage logging
(how many decimal places?) and the food-service folk are likely equally
lousy at calorie counting.
Hey - let's not forget the school-crossing guards - no telling what
nefarious activities they've been up to!
Kudos to Haim for this "heads up".

a Tibetan monk - but it has since slipped my mind.
