1. Seems like a long trip.

I know where you're going. What's your current city?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

2. Right now..

I am exiled back to Joplin, MO! I can't believe how much work is STILL needed here since the Tornado. Still to much is left and to many bad memories. Between that and family ( don't get me started on that situation), I can't wait to get to what I call HOME!

[NYC_SKP]

3. That's right, I now remember your mentioning that.

Just take care of you. You learned a life lesson in Joplin and now it's time to go!

5. I think you'll enjoy the trip.

I went from Atlanta to Sacramento about 30 years ago and it was all good up until LA, when some drunk/drugged assholes got aboard.

I was almost in a fight with them, no fault of my own, and I even went up to the driver to express my concern and legitimate fear and all he could say was "stay behind that yellow line", the asshole.

So not to scare you, but sit as close to the front as possible and be aware of your surroundings.

The assholes seem to like the rear of the bus.

6. This will be my fourth bus trip.

Number 2 on this route. That is one of the reasons why am worried about the OKC transfer. But get pass that, is should be a smooth trip.
