That is one of the questions riders have answered on the Moscow WSU Motor Pool van during its weekday commute.
Other topics of conversation have included:
- The difference between hoarfrost and rime.
- Why and how cats land on their feet after falling from a great height.
- What is a sun dog and why are we seeing one in the sky?
- Best strategies for growing tomatoes on the Palouse.
- How do you hail Uber?
You can join the motor pool van and expand your mind as you travel from Moscow to WSU as either an occasional or full-time rider for the summer, or hop on the van as a permanent full time rider starting in July.
During the summer the van leaves Moscow from the Eastside Marketplace at 6:55 a.m. and picks up riders at the Moscow Post Office at 7 a.m. and the Palouse Empire Mall at 7:05 a.m., arriving on campus by 7:20 a.m. Departure from campus is at 4:10 p.m. While on campus the van is parked in the Fine Arts Building garage.
During the academic year the van leaves the Eastside Marketplace at 7:25 a.m, Post Office at 7:30 a.m., and Palouse Mall at 7:35 a.m., arriving on campus by 7:50 a.m. Departure from the Fine Arts garage is at 5:10 p.m.
