My best recollection is it started (way back when I was in school)during some energy crisis as a way for the schools to save on the fuel bills.Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-50880576350116398142010-02-14T06:35:06.312-06:002010-02-14T06:35:06.312-06:00Mary, I've been listening to them on the way t...Mary, I've been listening to them on the way to work almost all school year and I'm still on the first disc! <br /><br />Why do you guys get a week now?MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-17269539386652134192010-02-13T14:46:19.509-06:002010-02-13T14:46:19.509-06:00Ooops - just saw what I wrote.

That makes a huge difference for me, too.Natalie J. Damschroderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800784042353921973noreply@blogger.com
