I was drivin' my 58 bus to Home Depot to pick up some
lumber a year or so ago...guy in the parkin' lot
wanted to buy it...Offered $1,000, I said not fer
sale, offered $2,000, still not for sale...said he'd
go as high as $3,000, STILL not for sale...he gave me
his card in case I changed my mind...tossed it...
Personally didn't think it was worth $3,000, but who
knows these days...
Bottom line, Its MY bus and I ain't sellin' it. Ever.
My youngest grandson gets it in about 18 or 20 years
(sure as hell won't be his FIRST vehicle to drive!)

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If
you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've
never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop
thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in
which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater
than the need for an answer."
