You have got to be kidding!
I finally get my week's vacation; much happiness ensues until I realize that because of my car needing repaired I can't afford a plane ticket to Ohio. So I get to thinking that a year ago when I escaped Ohio (a year ago tomorrow at that) I took Greyhound; it was $88. I can swing that, no problem! I go to Greyhound's webpage.

$348!!!

Back to square 1. Again! x( :cry:

3. My dear From The Ashes...
Oh good grief...

That's horrible...

I'm guessing with the price of gas, and perhaps fewer riders...:shrug:

I'm so sorry, sweetie...

:hug:

6. I'm sorry. That sucks.
It actually now costs more to ride the bus from Boise to Minneapolis than it used to cost to FLY there.

11. If you would have posted this a week ago
I might have been able to hook you up. I picked up a load right outside of San Antonio last week and took it to Toledo. You would have had to ride in an eighteen wheeler for two days but I would have let you play with the cb.
