There was video on the news tonight, and the Bus appeared to be a hightop
model.  No word on the type of heater, which is just another example of how
our news is edited for time constraints.  Why, I'm sure there must be almost
2000 members of Bus and Vanagon Lists who would like to see a Charles
Kuralt-type special on this episode.

Here's wishing all Listees north of FL that they can retire their snow
shovels soon.

BTW, when roads get full of snow and ice, the correct way to drive is NOT to
just push any pedal as hard as you can and grip the wheel until your vehicle
stops by sliding into something.  (Some other news footage showed a garbage
truck and a fire engine each sliding 180-360 degrees on the ice.)  How would
you feel seeing one of those aiming at you in your rear view mirror?
