It's one of the things in my life I'll never forget.

I took a bus from Baton Rouge Louisiana to pick her up in Tucson Arizona.
I didn't know the bus system is what it is. 32 hours later and a broad spectrum of eerie encounters, the likes of which I've never experienced, and I was there. In the end I feel it was worth it and I feel my horizons have been broadened.

It seems people who ride busses have no other means of transportation, in most cases. It saddens me to see such poverty in a once great nation. It further saddens me to see this Government desperately trying to appease the world with our tax dollars, and bring other countries up, while this one falls apart.
I don't know what they are doing, or why they are doing it but they're not doing a very good job and they certainly don't seem to be working in the interest of America.
I remember when a coke was 25 cents and an honest days work for an honest days pay was enough to get you by. Today it's enough to get you in debt and pay taxes.
Oh well, sorry for rambling on, here are the pics.

What an engine!
