I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

Thank goodness. I thought you took the picture and he was parked across from you.

Holla!

 

The high end Mexican buses have separate men's and women's restrooms with flushing toilets and sinks. But from the look of the ones running up here, they're not luxury class, more like 1st class.

Mexican bus lines go by class.

Luxury: 24 wide seats, lavatory with flushing toilets, on board meal, snack bar, movies, pillows for each passenger, air conditioned, window curtains, driver compartment is usually sealed off from the passenger compartment. Usually only stop in big cities, most runs are overnight.

1st class: Similar to what Greyhound offers, most have on board movies and some sort of on board bathroom. Air conditioned. Most Mexicans travel on 1st class buses. Usually stops everywhere.

2nd class: Usually running 2nd hand 1st class buses. May or may not have bathroom or movies Air conditioning usually installed but not always functioning. Most Mexican buses have opening windows so non working AC isn't a big deal since many Mexicans don't have it in their cars. They stop every 5 feet, lol.

3rd class. Usually retired US school buses or Mexican market truck chassis buses. Never air conditioned. You may be sharing a seat with livestock. Usually serve regional areas, you hardly ever see a long distance 3rd class bus.

 

Wow that was a trip down memory lane mentioning that iPaq phone. I looked it up on-line to refresh my memory and now remember having two back then. The first was one of the 22xx models with the stubby phone antenna on top. One of the first PDA's that was cellular capable. The later one was one of the Blackberry look a likes. At the time, that sort of phone was very rare. Now I'm looking at how crude it is compared to my current phone LOL.

Probably was a 1st class bus then. Looked similar to a Greyhound. In fact he parked right next to me when he came around from the pump island. I was taking an extended 30 min plus break to enjoy a cold cut sandwich out of the cooler, then some successful a/c tampering for a cooler ride the rest of the way. The folks coming off the bus didn't look like they were enjoying the ride. Come to think of it, if I had to ride on a bus for days, I'd gladly wait in line at a truck stop instead of using the one on the bus.

 

wife swapping didn't start in the 60's
it started with 2 old couples couldn't remember who they came with

 

When I'm in Houston I tend to park at our terminal in Pasadena. Then I'm my own uber. Lol

 

Started WHEN they were in their 60's

 

watch out you will get old too

 

I am old. Getting older every day

 

Even the Baytown truck stops can be a little sketchy. But probably better than anything else on the east side
