Better yet, we should insist that they fly down to Everybus2002
and get the real story. If NPR won't spring for tickets, we can
take up a collection for them on the list. They really need to do
research if they are going to make such rash statements.
Or they could ride down with one of the carabus folks from the NE.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Everybus. Its been a long
winter.
drive well
