Born Again...

The little black box was found! The Bus has now been reconstructed with it's remains, albeit with some slight changes. Similarly to when a person goes through a traumatic physical experience and ends up with some side effects - like straight-haired women who, post-pregnancy, emerge with curly hair - the Bus has a new look and feel.

The most notable change may be the random music which we've been listening to. It seems the new Bus has a taste for 80's adult contemporary tunes - among other songs. I haven't quite yet figured out where it's coming from, but am in no hurry to locate and remove the source. Certainly you didn't assume that I was responsible for what happens on the bus, did you? Besides, it beats the normal alternating mix of silence and strange conversation...

There seems to be some experimenting concerning the paint as well. I'm assuming that the Bus has chosen the Mario Bros. template for now as it tries to find a more permanent identity. Perhaps as it searches through the information on the little black box, it's harkening to it's past. I can only assume that, say, twenty-four years ago or so it was a school bus. I must say, it feels pretty good, no?

Aside from those changes, which seem to be the only ones (for now),the three or four of you faithful readers and/or stalkers shouldn't notice any differences.

'Til next time.
