Yes Pete always unexpected. I think the cool thing about that is it's like
somekind of secret society or club. I mean this guy pulled in and I got out
of the bus and we immediately walked over to one another. First words out of
his mouth were "And they say it can't be done" - referring to two Vanagons
in one place - West coasters may laugh at that but it's true around here. We
talked for a good 20 min. Looks like we might have another guest at the next
Buses by the Beach outing.

The bus he was pulling home was that '84 that Patty considered buying back
this summer - she was going to flip it.It needs work but the interior is
immaculate. Most of the body is solid as well. I can't beleive he was
pulling it with that '82 deisel - he said it was doing great. Good thing the
lands realtively flat around here.
