Dear Driver

The DMV sent me a nice little demerit point summary today.
Blast.
How did I get so lucky? Theoretically, I could obtain 10 more demerits (before December) and not lose my license, but I'd rather not try it.
No more putting off license/registration renewal..
No more speeding down the Blue Ridge Parkway at 85+ mph...
No more putting the pedal to the medel, soon as the light turns green..
Another resolution- the hard way!




We once owned a school bus, when I was a kid. Used it as the primary mode of transportation, when the family van was being worked on. ( a friend bought it from the county, and gave it to us)
And when our van got fixed, we used it to haul wood. (for our woodstove) I thought it was cool, because there were only a few seats still left (in the back), and they DIDN'T HAVE SEATBELTS. We kids could goof off, with minimal parental involvement (as my Mom would usually be too busy trying to drive the thing, and not be looking back at us). Of course, its max speed was about 30 mph, but nobody cared about that. Riding on a bus, when you're homeschooled, is really cool. (Yeah, I guess I'm a redneck!)
We didn't, however, use it as a school! This picture just brought back memories.
