Tomorrow's the day guys and gals. 9:15 for about an hour and a half. Gettin a new bionic back. The Acme Vertiflex - seen it in a Roadrunner cartoon. Coyote needed one after he got hisself whacked by one of them anvils. Day surgery - I should be home tomorrow afternoon, in a brace for couple of weeks then good as new. If this thing works as advertised it's gonna make my back feel as good up and walking as it does sittin down, which is nearly pain free. Wish me well?
Hey Spirit - I had my back worked on about 25 years ago. Went from barely able to walk to jogging in 2weeks. Hope yours goes as well as mine. Has the smoke cleared in your area yet?

I notice a lack of side-mounted rear view mirrors. I would hate to drive that not knowing what was coming up behind me in today's traffic.

God bless you and others who gone through losses like yours, and for the strength it takes to raise the issues of loss of family and depression. You and others in similar situations are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gotta wait until 3 am
Looks like we will have a few extra seats. If Jake wants to join us, okay by me - if he's wearing khakis.

What time zone?
OZ: I suggest 0400, Pacific. A long way to go. The earliest we can get into next year would be to have our target destination in the Eastern time zone, assuming we stay in the US. Bring your gear in case we find a place to wet our lines. This could be a bit of a hardship for those of you already in the east, because the bus leaves from PDX.

I will wear clothes
OZ: If you can only do one, I'll accept the clothes, but back of the bus, please. And keep the window open.

OK, this is going to be a long drive. Confined quarters. Short bus. Shower and change your clothes - please.

"You're either on the bus, or you're off the bus." (which book is that quote from knucklehead scholars?)
Sounds a bit like the story about little Johnny, playing conductor & engineer with his train set? Gets admonished by his mother for foul language, and sent to his room for a couple of hours.

3rd choice you say, drivers seat sounds good to me
OK, plum. You're the driver of the short bus, suitable for knuckleheads.

If I can't get next year, could she slap me into a week's paid vacation. I'll settle for that. 
Greg: I'll talk to my mom, but she's likely to say, "This is not a government handout, I just want to get you cry babies away from me." That's just the way she is. You are tentatively No. 5 for seat choice - tentatively.

Oh crap, wait wait wait, you cannot be told to get slapped into next year. It could be a terroristic threat fallowed by weeks of protests riots and luting. All those are legal.
We takes our chances Egghead. You on the bus, or not?
