It's time for a change

I think for everyone there comes a time when you just have to stop doing the things you're doing because maybe you're bored, or feel a need to go in a new direction, and so you do it, throw caution to the wind, hoping that things will turn out all peachy keen.

A risk, yes, but also a new challenge.

I'm heading over to my new website www.schoolbuscowboy.com.

Same writing, same humor, same old me, but just with a different focus.

First off, I'm a teacher. To make a bit more money I drive a school bus. It's not a bad gig. I'm out in the country, the kids are great, and the sunrises are even better.

Several years ago I started www.busno6.com. Some of my riders read it. Administrators enjoyed it. I also had www.stinkycreektexas.com which led to www.tracyfarr.net.

I'm hoping to combine all the best attributes of each site into one: www.schoolbuscowboy.com.

We shall see how it works.

I hope you'll join me. If not, I don't blame you.

The skunks down in Austin

Yesterday, I saw two skunks running down the road.

The bigger of the two, with its tail raised high looking like it was about to cause a stink, was chasing the smaller one, which had its tail tucked between its hind legs, looking like it was trying to avoid getting screwed.

Reminded me a lot of Austin politicians and Texas school children.
