Yesterday, as I was driving down my little two lane road to civilization, I saw a Delorean coming down the road like it was a Toyota Camry. I totally freaked out in my car screaming to no one because I was by myself. It was kinda disappointed that lighting didn't zap the front of it and disappear. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't know your classic 80's movies.
Then, a couple days ago, I was driving in my car again. I saw a metro bus from a near-by major city. Kinda unusual since it's about 40 minutes away. Then I saw the sign that scrolls across the back. Usually it has the bus number on it. Instead, it was scrolling the words "CALL...COPS...911." It took me a couple times to realize what it was scrolling. I didn't quite believe it until I came up beside it and the larger scrolling sign read "EMERGENCY...CALL...POLICE...911" over and over one word at a time. I didn't see anything unusual about the bus, so I didn't call. (when I told the bro about it, he promptly yelled at me and told me how stupid that was and that you should always call no matter what.) It's not like it was going unusually fast and it couldn't slow down for some strange reason. Again, if you don't know this reference, you don't know your 90's blockbusters.
True stories for your Sunday.
Listening to "From Yesterday" from 30 Seconds to Mars. It's been on repeat since I heard it for the first time last night. I love a little alternative rock. And I LOVE his voice and the red ends on his hair.

So what was the deal with the bus. Gosh!
I have to agree!!! What the heck was up with the bus??????
I have no idea. the only thing I can think of is that the bus has those in case of emergency and someone accidentally turned it on. Kinda wish I knew...
Did you check the news???? I know I'm a few days behind in responding.

I found your blog doing a search one "emergency call police." It's used all over the country on buses as a way to signal distress, it seems. So I was driving down the road and saw this and I promply called the police. They didn't know what the heck I wasa talking about but took my info anyway. I then called the bus company. They were like, ok, thanks for reporting it. They were not in a panic. See I heard a recent story about a local bus driver told to go off his route and when he refused, he got a beat down.
