The message
from Janet Baraclough contains these
words:

On the BBC this am, there was a report that Greyhound Buses
will no longer serve off-the track rural areas, leaving many such
areas with no long-range public transport at all. I suppose this
is
Bush's response to dwindling oil resources....

Would he know a Greyhound from a Husky?

Does he know anything....my impression is that he is President in
name only with fellows like Rumfield and Cheney calling all the
shots

Wrenching back to the poor old Greyhounds -- an American icon for
me -- this mattter of rural public transport isn't _totally_
off-topic for a gardening group. We complain about it in UK, where
the problem is much less extreme than with America's long distances:
over there, it must be a nightmare for the public and the company
alike. Do American local authorities subsidise rural transport at
all, as is not uncommon here? ("Goddamn' European socialists!")

I have an eccentric fascination with West Virginia, and hate the
transition to driving on the right, so I tried wwwing the public
transport the "sparse" is too mild a word.
