    The Argentinian Bus Terminal

    We spent a long night squatting the bus terminal under a pounding rain in Pousadas, Argentina. I got this poem out of the experience: Glass room, waiting room, last room of the night We’re all here, The Nighttime Squatters, and we’re doin’ all right. Singers, preachers, vagabonds Lonely...

    Getting a school bus Wednesday

    Will know Wednesday if I'm getting it. Not sure of the year but it's an International Thomas with a Diesel motor. Sadly I never paid much attention to all the busses I've been in until I decided to get one. It drives but has a pricey motor issue so I'm just putting it on my land before I take...

    Drove my school bus down to Portland

    So I got a call from a friend in Portland about doing a remodeling job/flipping a house for a friend of his. Perfect for me, as I can bid lower, and living in a skoolie, I can pretty much take my home, tools, girlfriend, dog, and everything I own with me anywhere. Kick ass. The first thing I...

    British kids on the Bus, last seen in Oakland

    Hey! You guys piled into the coffee shop near Jack London, downtown Oakland, earlier this year. I chatted with two of you for a bit and then you all took off. I ran into a friend who reminded me of you. Did you make it to wherever you were going? Are you still in the US?

    How To Travel From Los Angeles To San Diego Via Public Transit

    I'm not a fan of Los Angeles. It takes forever to get anywhere, it's hard to find a place to camp, and the people there generally have a bad attitude. No offense to people in LA, maybe it's great if you know people there, but I prefer to bypass that area of the country as fast as possible...

    Best Bus Driver EVER?

    I feel like this is just some bizarre, quintessential Florida bullshit: a guy steals the citybus, but just drives on the routes. He doesn't steal any fare money. And he returns the bus to the depot at day's end. And then he does it again. And then one more time, for good measure. article I...
