This is almost as bad as when I watch "Blackhawk Down". Every time I would watch that movie I would wish I was king, so I could blow somalia right off the map. This only makes me want to put elon omar and the rest of the idiotic and corrupt somali politicians on a bus and send it towards somalia.

I believe that the students driving busses was a southern thing??? The late Leroy Gurganus of Jasper AL told me about his experiences driving the bus as a high school senior. The only time my parents (and others) drove us to school was when we had been kicked off the bus and had to present ourselves to the principal for disciplinary action.

Oh, so your parents took you most of the time? 🤣

I was on some site, Might have been here or might have been JOT where one recounted how STUDENTS drove the school buses in their area. It was a big plum of a job with many applying and few getting. Lots of training and one mishap, however minor meant you were gone! Imagine that today!

I remember that too, several students drove school buses when I was in school.

On our "Down Under" trip what really surprised me was the Beer sales booth on the Truckie's reunion show grounds.. Of course I had to sample some VB during the afternoon!!!

Remember the old Foster's Lager commercials that said something like "Foster's Lager- Australian for beer"?  My friend Andrew Boyer informed me that that was wrong, Victoria Bitter was the beer of choice in Australia, not Foster's. I don't know if you can buy it around these parts or not, I've never seen it anywhere.

Yes, I rode the bus to school until I was old enough to drive. I was the only 6th. grader in school with a driver's license. I'm kidding!

The bus was an International too. I think I rode that same bus the whole time I was in school. But I don't remember any parents bringing their kids to school and picking them up then, at all. Maybe as a once in a while thing, but not every day like you see now. Now I think more parents haul the chern back and forth than school busses do. 

And we would still have to get up at our regularly scheduled time and turn on the radio and listen to WFLO when it was snowing to hear whether school was closed or not.

Yeah, forget the glass. I’ll drink it out of the  pitcher 

Me and Mike Jackson took a couple of long loads from Hirschfield Steel in Lynchburg down to Hirschfield Steel in San Angelo, Texas one time. After we got unloaded we went to a motel because we were going to load a load there the next day going to West Virginia. We went down to the lounge to have beer and it seemed like everybody in there was walking around drinking beer out of a punch bowl. I thought "man, I like beer, but these people must REALLY like beer", those were some serious beer drinkers at that place.

im good with a salt and peppered ribeye, cooked medium, with blue cheese crumbles on top at the end. 

Yessir, that's how I like it. Never tried that blue cheese thing at the end though.

I don’t think anybody sure if you’re talking about Randy or Santa  that prime rib looks amazing. I’ll be right over with a plate and a fork and a long face.

Yeah, I'm talking about Randy, he usually smokes a prime rib roast for Christmas, but apparently he's shunning us.

Happy birthday
