School bells bring movers...

...though it seems primarily to be DoItYourself here in Prescott. I caught all the pictures on this post Saturday, just before the opening of local schools. Back in my former world, Chicago, rental leases were so tied to the school year that it was almost futile to look for an apartment in any month other than June or September.

The big truck above and the trailer below both appeared to be attached to the same apartment, though I certainly speculated as to what would be loaded on the trailer -- a vehicle, a boat, ???

Even as I was pondering that question, this two-wheeler with a cabinet possibly from a yard sale went speeding by. In another block and a half I spotted the SUV all ready to be moved elsewhere. Obviously not to a dealer for a $4500 rebate; too old; it looks to have done yeoman duty over the years.

And so as I walked down the hill to the museum I found myself wondering where the people were moving to (or from). I pondered whether the real estate market here was tied to the school calendar, which led me to the biggest qustion of all: How come schools are opening their doors so early before Labor Day, which was always the end of official summer when I was a kid and even when the Dotter was a youngster. Is this Part A of a plot to ease the schools into a year-round schedule? Just asking.
