A college student in 1979 only had to work about 182 hours per year in order to pay for tuition. The average student in 2013 had to work over 991.

The Wild Editor:   What are the crossings about, LL ?

The Follow Me Cat:   The crossings are made when human projects block the natural trail that wildlife have used for centuries.   Here is one in Poland.
