I can't quit laughing, Courtenay! This is way too awesome! Do you know someone that owns that bus?
You do the best self portraits! #9513041

Courtenay Vanderbilt July 07, 2011

I believe this bus was in service in Atlanta in 1953. I should have paid more attention! I took this at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, GA. I have to give Linda credit for the idea. She mentioned she had done some SP's. Check out her gallery today you'll see one of her! #9513062

Wow, Court!!! This is AWESOME!!! What a fantastic idea for an SP! ... even if it was Linda who thought it up! LOL! You probably came up with the "sleeping" idea! Ha! Ha!
