If you have kids, you're probably immersed in the dubious pleasure of back-to-school shopping and dreaming up new and exciting items to pack in that lunch box ... 180 times. If you don't, you might just be wondering when school starts so you can avoid getting stuck at the end of the long line of cars waiting to drop off students. Whichever population you fall into - be sure to slow down, Lamorinda; school starts soon!
