I have started and dropped so many projects. Most recently, a blog about homesteading as a senior. I am also in the process of moving a website about aromatherapy and herbalism from another home to WordPress. I’m not sure which place I struggle with more. The purpose of that site is to offer a line of naturally scented products to people who are sensitive to synthetic ones. Feel free to check it out at https://www.scentedbynature.net Let me know what you think. I do not like the look of either site, so working on them has become a huge learning curve.
When I resurrected Ramblin Ann again I wanted an outlet to free write. More and more a little voice in my head is telling me to go back to my idea from long ago and write about school bus life. It’s what I know and what I love. Well, most of the time. The only people who know what this job is really like are the drivers and the people around them. The general population only hears about us when something bad happens. Bad things do happen caused by driver negligence, and I will not downplay when a driver does something negligible or illegal. They put many people’s lives at risk during those incidents. They are despised by us more than you will ever know.
But there is much more to this life than what the headlines say. I want to share what it’s like from the vantage point of the driver’s seat, the good and the bad. I will write about the rules and regulations we must follow, the rules of the road, the physical, mental, and emotional stress this job puts on a driver, and how our lives and jobs become so intertwined.
I will cover all things school bus.
