I don\u2019t think that is something I ever considered until it was almost time to graduate high school.

I hope the live style loop pic of Larry holds up upon transfer to the WWW.

These are from an iPhone 16e. How far technology has come in my lifetime. It boggles my mind. I can only imagine how my parents generation feel about it all. I reckon that could be a whole topic of discussion if I can maintain the resolve to explore it later. I wouldn\u2019t bet on in though. My ADD probably wont allow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;6aa0bbf0d082a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/gallery\" class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa0bbf0d0c70&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa0bbf0d0c70\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"240\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"2121\" src=\"https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4371-1024x240.jpeg\" alt=\"iPhone 16e MOSSY Creek Middle School bus ramp pano\" class=\"wp-image-2121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4371-1024x240.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4371-300x70.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4371-768x180.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4371-1536x360.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4371-2048x480.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa0bbf0d1191&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa0bbf0d1191\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"248\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"2127\" src=\"https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4392-1024x248.jpeg\" alt=\"iPhone 16e Danny Carpenter Dr AM school drop off pano\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4392-1024x248.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4392-300x73.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4392-768x186.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4392-1536x372.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4392-2048x496.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been the last couple weeks of school and the bus has been a little extra.
