Great story, thanks for sharing.

What a nice change of pace from all of the negative things that we constantly hear about happening in the world today...
Thanks for sharing Sir!

Rural anywhere. Most of the city kids ain't half bad either. I went on a trip to inner-city Milwaukee last year, to the ghettos, and didn't find most of the kids there much of a problem either.
It's just that the bad apples get all the attention (and seem to be inordinately drawn to political lives).

Tennessee.
There is one mail box in danger on the route, I already scraped it enough to take me reflective tape off.
What are people thinking, the box is on the white line. If the bus is 8' wide the lane on those narrow roads are 8'1".
That mailbox is right on the line going into a sharp curve. I can't tell you how many folks drive in the other lane on these narrow roads, makes it sporty for sure.

The Halloween bus trip should be a doozie.

Sounds like we need to bus in some city kids and some ACLU members to improve the situation there. Last thing we want is a bunch of well-adjusted kids who get along most of the time and believe in God.
Gotta ram diversity down their throats whether they like it or not. Heck, watch TV and you'll know right away that the country is 30% black, 40% Latino, and 29% gay. All the Christian white folks died off back in the 1950's....

I think I might make a night raid and help those people move their mail box. Accidents happen.

I'd venture a guess that those bullets were found somewhere around Shiloh???? Not a student of history and don't have a good memory for details but seems I remember a battle taking place in the area on a sunken road or something like that?
It speaks well of you to be a mentor to kids today, Scott. Being a person who does not enjoy the society of kids I have to admire you. I don't find kids so repugnant if they are mannerly and not bullies. If I hate anything in this world it's a bully.

Our rural kids are all like that. Quite capable, they watch out for one another, and they can look an adult in the eye during a conversation.
By rural, I mean those that have a 100 mile run to town, and they don't need a smart phone for entertainment.
You are blessed to be there. The thought came to mind that the kids are blessed that Scott is there. Sounds like a good deal for all concerned.

Good post Steelhead. Those kids might change your thoughts about God if you aren't careful. Ken

Yes sir! Totally agree. There are a couple of kids around here who would benefit from this kind of wisdom and insightful thinking.
