He took a wrong turn

On Monday, February 6, 1995, according to the Chicago Tribune, a Detroit bus driver finished his shift on the Route 21 bus and headed for the terminal. Somehow, he took a wrong turn. He didn't arrive at the terminal at the scheduled time of 7:19 PM, and a short time later his supervisors started looking for him. Meanwhile, the driver's wife called the terminal and reported her husband might be disoriented from medication he was taking.

For six hours, the 40-foot city bus and its driver could not be found. Finally the state police found the bus and driver - 200 miles NW of Detroit. The bus was motoring slowly down a rural 2-lane road, weaving slightly from side to side. The police pulled the bus over, and the driver said he was lost.

A police news release later stated, "The driver had no idea where he was and agreed that he had made a wrong turn somewhere. Apparently, this had not occured to him during the four hours he drove without finding the bus depot."

Unless we confront those who have taken a wrong turn in life, they may never regain their orientation.
