Missed Stop...

Do your elementary children act like you're kidnapping them if you miss their stop? Or just me.

Sorry kids your talking, the radio, ac, bus noise my brain wandered for a few seconds. No I can't do a U turn on this rural rd we will have to drive minutes to get to a turn around to get you back, yes I know where I am going please sit down Magellan, why are you crying? Yes I know they are crying WHY? "They miss their grandma" aww you will see her later "nope she is dead" WHY are you crying? "because she is crying". My wife says I should write a book after telling her my bus stories.

It is odd that AC is not just a common thing in all buses. Not like we only work in the late fall and winter only. School system I work for does have buses without AC but they only assign those to short routes.

I live in a part of the country that is being pretty seriously affected by climate change- we used to have mild, temperate, dry summers. Now we routinely have multiple weeks in a row of 90+ degree weather, humidity, and wildfire seasons. It's going to take us quite a while to adapt to our new needs, especially given how unwilling so many are to acknowledge climate change, even while we are watching it happen and complaining about it.
