Saw this while driving across Arkansas.

Didn’t realize Razorbacks didn’t tag their school buses….

Well heck, that didn’t work.

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun.........

Don,
Texted the pic to you.
I think you'll understand the "interesting" part once you see it.

Edited: After viewing those pictures, I'm doubting this bus was owned/operated by any school board but admittedly, I could be wrong on that.

If you’re using iOS 11 or later, you may have noticed that photos taken with your iPhone camera are saved as HEIC files instead of the previous format, JPG. This new file format was introduced to offer better compression while still preserving image quality. The problem with HEIC is that it’s not widely compatible with other apps or devices, and you may not be able to open a HEIC photo after moving it to your computer.

Well, while interesting, it isn't worth going to any trouble over.

Cliff, please delete this entire thread.

it means my non iOS11 phone can't download HEIC format images

Well, I still don't have an interest in pursuing it. It was a cute pic. Doesn't matter.

You can change the format in the iPhone's settings so it saves as jpg.

Windows used to offer the codec for free, now charges 99 cents for it.

There's a workaround.

Thanks, it's just not that important.
Moved the pics to my laptop where I can post it from there..

But here's the story, driving across Arkansas with a small trailer in tow (Valkyrie on board). Saw up ahead merging with traffic a yellow school bus. Something many of us see on a daily basis. No big deal. I slid over a lane to make sure I would not be a problem with the merger but, other than that. A normal everyday driving experience.

Wasn't paying particular attention to the school bus any more than all the other traffic but as in most cases, I was traveling faster and gaining on the bus. As I passed the bus, I just happened to glance over at it. In the rear of the bus, I saw this. I then slowed back down so my wife could take the pics and allow me to share what I thought was something slightly unique.

Actually, I admire Razorbacks, schooling is very important ya know.




I thought to myself, now there's something you don't see every day. Actually, I think it's a pretty good way to use an old school bus. Especially if one doesn't have to tag it. But I do think I'd have to have all those windows down.

That's pretty funny! In Central America, the local population uses old school buses as their primary means of transportation. Places like Honduras or Guatemala do not have public transit, so entrepreneurs took it upon themselves to create a bus route in cities like Comayagua or Tegucigalpa. They literally take a retired school bus from a school district, and then either paint it... or sometimes leave it just as it is. They go around to various blocks stopping and picking people up on the street corners. Many of the people who use these school buses bring animals and stuff, mostly chickens and things like that. So they're referred to as "chicken buses."
