This leisurely day was a great way to recharge. It was also a way of finalizing the Kindness Bus Tour itinerary until the end of the year. The OU campus has finals this week so it was quite quiet today. Nearly half of the students have finished their finals and left for the next six weeks. With a campus the size of this one, it still should be quite busy. Bogart got about three hours of great exercise, as we walked the campus before and after lunch. While walking, Bob in tow behind Bogart, as is usually the case, Bogart being his ever-impatient self as he hunts for squirrels happened upon a garden of beautiful flowers, of, you guessed it, impatiens. The title of today’s photo, Impatien(t)s is not a virtue!
The following is the itinerary for The Kindness Bus Tour;
Ohio University, University of Rio Grande, Bluefield College, Virginia Tech, Radford University, Emory & Henry College, Virginia Intermont College, King College, Milligan College, East Tennessee State University, Carson Newman College, Lee University, Southern Adventist University, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, The University of the South, Middle Tennessee State University, Trevecca Nazarene University, Free Will Baptist Bible College, Tennessee State University, American Baptist College, and Vanderbilt University.
Saw you (and your bus) outside of Chipotle in Athens this evening-didn’t get a chance to speak with you, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate what you’re doing, and think it’s worthwhile. Though there are many difficult issues facing today’s society, we can’t do anything about them if we can’t even treat each other with respect and (of course) kindness, and I think that a reminder from something as simple as seeing your bus is a positive way to get people thinking in that vein.
Don’t know how long you’ll be in Athens, but thanks for stopping in!
