Although school transportation IS the safest mode of transportation, there is a simple thing Transportation departments can do to make it even safer. Monitoring vehicle recalls and defects will allow departments to remain proactive and catch issues before they become problems. The Office of Defects Investigation makes it easy. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/complain/complaintsearch.cfm

It is no secret that I work on school bus driver training. I often ask my family and friends to be on the look out and take photos of school buses in action (safely, not while driving). As a result, I typically get some good shots of loading and unloading or parked school buses. I also get random internet links, how-to articles, and school bus themed humor. Previously my favorite odd-ball story was a how-to article about converting school bus into an RV. Yesterday the opening/keynote speaker was a film-maker who chronicled the life of a school bus that was auctioned off for use in Guatemala. The film shows the bus’ transformation as it changes owners and purposes. The film also shows some very powerful moments related to the Guatemalan culture, economy, and social struggles. If you have a chance, check out the website or facebook page. Thanks for reading.

Charles Vergo’s Rendezvous
You should order ribs now. They ship and it would totally be worth it. One of my favorite things to do in new places it to meet new people, eat at local places, and soak up the local color. This place was awesome on all counts. As a late birthday surprise, my wife took me here, and we stuffed ourselves with ribs, chopped pork, kielbasa, brisket, baked beans, coleslaw, and sweet tea. It was so good, we also got a jar of their bbq rub and a t-shirt. Hell yes, I am willing to advertise for this place for the next 20 years (I can make a t-shirt last!).
So the last couple posts have been about food…And I still have to talk about BB Kings Blues Club, Beale Street, and riverwalk soon. I also have photos I’ll probably share, as well as conference highlights. It’s been a busy couple of days and will continue to be awesome, I’m sure.

I travel to some very neat places, but few are able to so quickly ooze a level of coolness and relaxation as Memphis, TN. I’ve been excited about this trip since at least July, but didn’t do any preliminary “city” research. I hoped for a place to jog, old buildings, and character. CHARACTER. This city has it, and I like it. Expect a lot of photos this trip.
