Actually....my friend was sitting in the front passenger seat when I
casually got up from the driver's seat with the cruise control on and
went to the back of the bus.  I have known him since we were kids and
twenty years earlier we had a driving contest on the exact same stretch
of freeway in Nevada on our way to california from PA to see who could
drive his jeep farthest without touching the steering wheel...you can
literally go for miles.  He recognized immediately what I was doing
(trying to shock him out of that nevada trance) and, at first, he simply
and calmly grabbed the wheel with one hand without getting out of his
seat...something we used to do for each other on long trips if the other
needed to do something....but he soon let go....and we let the bus drive
itself ... I won't tell you what we did next ...  (except that we never
endangered anyone else).
