The only way you can make out with Greyhound is if they have a slump in sales and offer a $49 one-way ticket anywhere in the country. Or some ridiculous fare.

I won two one-week passes several years ago and only used one of them. After working for Greyhound for five years, I finally realized it was a sucky way to travel.

You probably have an earthquake coming. They always know.

Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Harry Chapin thought so too.

I've ridden it at least once, but it was so long ago I don't remember where from, where to, nor why. All I remember is sitting by the window and watching the driver kick(!) a large cardboard box up a ramp into the cargo area. I'm just glad that box was not mine...

I like trains a lot more. Especially with a cabin for overnight travel, even if they're the cramped "Superliner Roomettes" Amtrak has. Better views, you've got privacy, you can lie down to sleep, you don't keep everyone else up with your snoring... *\;^)

Good Evening sir! can't wait till I see the back end of '09!

This has been a rather rough year of a lot of folks.

Hope 2010 brings better news with it.

[sionnsar]

Don’t forget that it’s Moving Day, Pippin! We won’t be here much longer...

[Pippin]

I won't!

I'm ready! :o)

[fanfan]

Happy New Year to you and yours Pippin.

A better year to us all.

[sionnsar]

Heh. I've got almost the opposite view. 2009 wasn't such a great year but it could be better than what's ahead.

For the positive: our 10% furloughs ended some weeks ago. Pay checks are back up.

For the negative: I have 2 new committees and about 3 or 4 new subcommittees to deal with, on top of the... 4 committees and ? subcommittees I already have. All this comes with more airline travel in a stoopid new travel regime, thank you Janet Napolitano.

I can't wait to see the back end of 2010. *\8^|

[fanfan]

LOL~!

Barf!

Napolitano thinks transportation safety is setting water mules in the desert every 10 miles so the illegals don’t die of thirst on their way to our welfare and social security.

But don’t wind me up on THAT!

And, according to Tom Hanks and "The Polar Express", they have delicious hot chocolate!

[Monkey Face]

Now that I’m older, they aren’t so funny!!

[Darksheare]

Yes, room temp is a little warm for me.

[Monkey Face]

That was a pretty awesome movie. I’m still trying to find a bell that big...

[Monkey Face]

Room temp is a little cold for me, unless the room is 90.

[sionnsar]

I'm ready! :o)

All I needed to hear...

[Darksheare]

Well, yes.
But how does one thaw a nanite infested frozen dead guy?

And, according to Tom Hanks and "The Polar Express", they have delicious hot chocolate!

I didn't try the hot chocolate my last time on Amtrak... I think it was December 1980. Did we have hot chocolate back then?

Room temp is way too warm for me, unless it's 64. But the meds are changing that. I now need it to be 65.
