The AC is now quite cold - really had some issues at first (after going through two 30# cans of 134). You think the ACC in a Benz in weird.

In the rural midwest people use old busses as chickencoops!

Actually, never chartered to the coast - I was doing Vicksburg. I did see some footage of Rick Copa in Gulfport which was my favorite

They had some inside footage and my crap-table in the promenade section was all tore up - sad

I do have a temporary new gig - The bus is leased to FEMA.

Thought about your new ride when they started showing the buses on TV. Glad to hear it can be part of the effort.

Do you drive it? Or they drive it?

How does one arrange a lease with FEMA in short order???

Bravo.

[QUOTE=Brian Carlton]Do you drive it? Or they drive it?

The bus is in Mississippi and really isn't doing anything, maybe a couple hundred miles last week. I do not have a CDL, that's probably a good deal anyways

. The Bus is leased by the hour with driver on a 24 hour day whether it's used or not at their set rate (which is favorable).

I do not want to haul evacuees - not being insensitive but I cannot afford the damage that is being done to some of the busses.

Fema can be contacted at 800-621-FEMA
