Bus trouble...
Posted: January 17th, 2009, 3:22 am
For people who don't understand why schools were closed or delayed
on Friday, let me tell you what happened in our neck of the woods! I was blessed, because I had a nice new bus to drive and it didn't happen to me.
In fact, I had taken it in to The Shop earlier in the week and Someone
told me I better go see if it was finished being fixed yet.
So I I
picked it up, drove it home and warmed it up for almost an hour on Friday before taking off for the route because of the 0 degree weather. It still felt cold inside, but gradually warmed up as I drove the route.
Many bus drivers could not get their older buses started at all... or could not get them warmed up enough to accelerate to a minimum speed limit or put out heat. Other bus drivers were scrambling to help them get their kids picked up from out of the cold. One bus driver needed fuel and could not get our pumps to work as they were frozen.
I praise the Lord for helping me once again. How did it go in your neck of the woods?
