For several years, Merlin Sprague drove a small passenger bus for a senior center. It was an unusual occupation (but then, what occupation isn’t unusual in its own way).In Stories From The Bus Merlin tells you about his job, the people with whom he worked, his passengers and their their lives. In these stories, Merlin expresses consternation with an increasingly harsh system originally designed to help those who cannot help themselves.Through no faults of their own, Merlin’s passengers are old, sick and broken. These people are down for the count and must rely on government programs to stay alive and keep roofs over their heads. These programs have never been overly generous and now our political climate seeks to do away with even this meager portion.Stories From The Bus concludes with some pungent observations on why things are the way they are and what might be done about it. Merlin Sprague is militating for a change of heart before much more damage is done.
