Someone had a vision that would never come to pass but it is rather interesting and humorous.

Thats about the time they filmed "Reefer Madness", seems the visionary that came up with that bus idea must of had some of that '30's killer weed.

I spent more than enough time on an aircraft carrier, no need to do it again.

Way back when the RR was king and we had practically no paved roads at all.  On a related sad note, kinda recently awhile back Amtrack proudly announced their "high speed" express rail service between Boston and Washington DC (I think) that was a whopping 20 minutes SLOWER than scheduled RR passenger service.... way back in 1928!  Wow!  Getting back to this super cool big big bus, what kind of operators license would it take?  Humm.  HB of CJ (old coot) :) :) :)
