Deacon Who?

Deke N Blue: (Note: Ideas and opinions expressed in this blog are not necessarily shared by the transit agency I work for. This is simply an expression of free speech while describing the work bus operators perform.) I have been (and called) many things in this life. Most of all, I'm a writer who happens to drive a bus. In May of '13 I thought it would be a good idea to write about my job. Usually avoiding what you might find on other blogs, I try to provide insight as to what it's like on a bus... From The Driver Side. Thank you for reading!
