..........breaking down on the road sucks.........my condolonces..........
If I bring up Greyhound to the kids I doomed....they LOVE riding the bus

It seems to have worked out well I am proud of the kids despite being 3 and 6 everything is good.....to them.

the cool thing is my mom has grown up so much

Before it would be an absolute emergency but now its "I have dressings (wounds) to put on tonight and I'll pick you up in the morning be glad it wasn't an IED"

That puts things into perspective a little bit.

Never had Bass Pale Ale, I should try it sometime. I have been drinking Sam Adams winter brew lately.

which is a shame because why can't there a upper class bus or rail system? My favorite modes of transportation are Ground, Ship but Air is an absolute last resort not because I don't like flying, I'm still jumpy about landings.

I think you should call Greyhound and ask them to install a first class section on their busses. Naturally, you'd be the only one riding in such a section, and the company would go bankrupt..........but, it'll be fun while it lasts..........
