West Mifflin Area School District

Dear Dr. Castagna,

I am writing in regard to the West Mifflin school bus that services Irwin Run Rd. Twice in the past two weeks, this driver has “gotten stuck” driving downhill in moderately snowy conditions, blocking the passage of vehicles and creating an unsafe situation for everyone involved.

First of all, it makes no sense that the bus “got stuck” going downhill.  Put it in neutral, coast the rest of the way down and get onto Rt 885 which is clear.  Secondly, if you are going to “get stuck” going downhill, at least clear out of the way and allow traffic to pass.  The first time the bus was on a slight diagonal, but enough to make both lanes impassable.  Per an officer of the West Mifflin PD, I had to pass on the opposite side of the bus.

In the second incident the bus was in both lanes, but to a lesser degree.  It had its flashers on, fooling drivers into thinking they could not pass because children were boarding.  This caused vehicular traffic coming up the hill to stop and, in the somewhat snowy conditions, it was difficult to start back up again.  Not to mention the fact that this bus left barely enough room to pass.

Twice in two weeks -- this is nuts.  It is time for this amateur driver to learn the ropes and stop creating hazards for all else involved.

Sincerely,

I have recently become aware that Hallmark was giving out 2016 planners during the holiday season with purchase. I made several purchases but did not receive one. Would it be possible to get one of these?

OtterBox

OtterBox,

I am writing to discuss your Defender series case for the iPhone 6S.  There is a cheap piece of plastic tape around the button in the bottom center.  It looks like it is meant to be pealed off but apparently it isn't.  I am not sure what the reasoning was here, but at the very least, the plastic should've been on the inside of the plastic screen rather than the outside so it does not peel off due to normal use.  It is unbelievable that this crummy piece of tape is actually a part of the OtterBox, but we looked at other models and they are all the same.  Every person I showed it to said 'this doesn't look like it was made right' and tried to peel it off. You'd think something called 'Defender' would be able to withstand the normal wear and tear of fingernails touching it, but it does not.  OtterBox, get real.  You can't stick a piece of plastic tape on this thing and sell it that way.  This is a junk design and I can't believe a product like this sells for $60.  The rest of the case is great.
