I loved driving the school bus.
I think it was easily our number one job of all time, and I did it for over twenty five years.
The best section of driving it was that I was 1 of the few drivers that had A/C in their bus. I drove several special needs children that attended school all year round. We had to have good A/C because the summers were so tepid and humid. I had several many and 4 year olds and a couple of third graders. We used to laugh and sing all the way to school and home. Most of our children were autistic and probably the most awesome people you could ever meet. Alex was a savant when it came to art and memory. He knew the entire score of every movie he had ever seen. He drew pictures of Ms, and reader, his instructor. His likeness was amazing, but he turned his into an art book. Molly was the sweetest little redhead and he was able to mimic any noise. I kept hearing this odd hum coming out of the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. I took the bus into the shop and had them repair the Heating as well as Air Conditioning for me. Come to learn, it was just a small piece of paper that had gone into the heating system and it was buzzing around. The next day I heard the noise in the Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit again. I took it back to the same shop, however they couldn’t find anything wrong. On the way home, I heard the same noise again. I didn’t realize it was Molly making the noise until it stopped, right after he got off of the bus.
