Back to School Time!

Published: Sept. 12, 2018, 7 p.m.

b'September is always "back to school" time, and it was no different for GamerDude. In this episode, he talks about preparing for going back to school, from cramming in the last minute shopping and preparations right after vacation to the quest for the perfect lunchbox. He talks about the Snoopy lunch box\\xa0he always wanted, and how he was only able to use it for three days in the fifth grade. He talks about shopping for school clothes in the "Husky" section at Sears, and JC Penney, and KMart, and the other local KMart knock-offs. He also talks about how he missed out on the Trapper Keeper because "cool" high school kids only used\\xa0loose leaf binders and spiral note books. And he talks about walking to the bus stop, and wearing those ghastly yellow rain coats\\xa0while waiting for the bus, and compares those days to today, when each kid seems to have their own personalized bus stop right at the end of their driveways.'
