One of my favorite actors, Rip Torn, was arrested over the weekend after he was found in a bank near his home. He was absolutely smashed, and to make things worse, was packing a .22 pistol. Lotsa charges. Check out TMZ.com for the latest.
I liked this guy in the Larry Sanders show and the MIB movies.

I See A Lot Of Things...
...while driving the Big Ol' Bus around town. And I put a lotta miles on my odometer. So every winter when it snows I get kind of annoyed by the TV anchors and the radio reporters who tell us that we need to use caution while driving in winter weather conditions. Like I don't know that braking time increases when there's ice on the road. I mean, really! Don't we all know this already??
Well, I guess not. I saw at least a half dozen--maybe more-- upside down vehicles when I was driving around the metro on Saturday. Hellooo! How in the heck can you DO that? Though I did notice they were all SUVs. So you won't get me in one of those soon. I'll stick with the megaton Green Bus.
And be careful out there, and don't do something goofy like this:

What A Busy Week!
The Tiger Woods story keeps getting worse... for him. BTW, here's a link to our gallery of girlfriend number 1 (of 10 so far).
We survived the Blizzard of '09 OK. Sure is cold though. Today I'm out with Binky The Bus Elf to deliver some Pointsettias from Boesen the Florist.
100.3 The Bus... we deliver.

Yet More Thoughts While Driving Around...
Man, Tiger Woods sure got himself into the rough with this whole car accident thing.
Jay leno laid into him the other night. Then there are these jokes:
Q: What do baby seals and Tiger Woods have in common?
A: They both get clubbed by Scandinavians
Q: What's the difference between an SUV and a golfball?
A: Tiger can drive a golfball 150 yards
The latest news, as always, is available at my favorite celebrity gossip site.

This Weekend
Looking at the weather, I figure this is the last time we'll have decent weather to hang the ol' Christmas lights out around the Bus garage. It's a miserable job, but it keeps the ladies happy.
Speaking of which, I got a weird e-mail. Tell me if you think this is true:
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car Then we received this email yesterday:
WARNING FROM POLICE
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--
NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'
Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating... You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the
car.
So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to
friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please keep this going and tell all your friends
It was signed by the Chief of Special Operations of the DM Police. I dunno, seems fishy to me...

Notes From The Chief Mechanic And Detailer
We got some changes going on here on the online Bus. Bus TV is a little different when you link to it from the On Demand menu on the front page of the website. Still great videos, though. We also have new videos at Bus TV on the front page, too. Check out the Video Of The Day.
Be sure to get a Bus Pass if you don't have one already. You'll get a weekly heads up e-mail on what is happening here at the Bus.
Til next time, Happy Ridin'.

Stuff Going On...
Seems like things are always weird no matter what...
The David Letterman thing. I like Dave. I used to flip back n forth between him and Jay Leno, but after they moved him and put Conan on, it was Dave all the way after the 10 o'clock news at the Bus garage. Anyway, the whole thing with his intern is creepy. Was that his letter jacket she was always wearing???
It snowed on Saturday morning. Welcome to---October?
There's a big scandal involving millions of dollars allegedly being embezzled by an insurance company employee. Didja ever here of anyopne stealing money from their boss and NOT getting caught?
Finally, here's a video of a Southwest flight attendant.
They do things differently at Southwest. Kinda like the Bus.

Vacation Is Over!
Hey Busrider, welcome back from the long vacation!
Well it's been an great August, got to spend time at the Fair.. seemed less like central casting for a Quentin Tarantino flick this year. Where did all the Mullets go? Replaced by piercings and tats, I think. Maybe it's me, but I hate tats, especially on pretty ladies.
Took a few dips in the lake over the summer. Some were even on purpose. I'm not a very good waterskier.
The recent Bus versus pedestrian accidents remind me to practice safe busdriving. And also ask the question: how can you not see a Bus? At least we're bright n green.
Keep those phonecalls coming to 515.245.8863--that's the Feedback Line back at the Bus Garage on Grand. Leave a message. Maybe we'll get back to ya.
