buses

After awhile, i saved enough money to fix the VW bus/camper that i had and things got a little better after that. I still had to drive the kids a long distance to school but it wasn't near as long as taking the bus. The name of the restaurant that i was working at was Sambos. Back then the political correctness trend was just beginning and the powers that be put Sambos Restaurants out of business because they were offended by the "racial reference". Who knew?

One really fun thing i remember was taking the kids to A&W Root beer fast food place. Do you remember those? Oh, well, maybe not. What a great time for me and the kids. This was in San Jose, California and the restaurant had a big screen in the parking lot where they would show movies like the 3 stooges or cartoons FOR FREE. (WOW) I would park the VW bus, set up the little table inside the bus, buy a couple of burgers and two childs rootbeer mugs for each of the boys. It was a great time. You don't need a lot of money to have a good time.
