That's Darwinism in action, thinning of the herd. Hey spiff if you do make the haul I'll drive up from Eugene! I deeply envy the Portlanders and their weekly gatherings.

But isn't it still cool to drink and drive in your neck of the woods?

Even if it was I wouldn't. Sorry, meant to write bus PILOTS. But that just reminds me of WWI flying aces, then Snoopy comes in to fight the Red Baron and the whole image gets silly.

I know, just giving you a hard time!

BTW, there's a new movie out Flyboys, saw it over the weekend. The dogfight sequences are intense! All in all not the best flick but I'm glad I saw it on the big screen.

If it wasn't for GEX & Empi, I wouldn't know how to do half of the things I do on my Bus.
Of course, it also would have been driven for more than 500 miles in a year and a half. But I'm making up for that.

I know, just playin'. It's almost as though you have to earn the right to drive your bus. Maybe that's why it builds the comradrie that it does. Or I had too many beers at the GF's place and I'm talkin' out my ass.

Or, if it was easy, then everyone would do it! Go on, pick a catch phrase, any catch phrase.
