[23:46] <philipballew> Might be a good option for people needing to get to scale. http://t.co/E0KMDPn
[23:46] <darthrobot> Title: [Error reading title]

[23:47] <pleia2> ^^ 2 days ago
[23:47] <pleia2> ;)
[23:47] <philipballew> pleia2, we think alike!
[23:47] <pleia2> indeed!
[23:47] <pleia2> 23:00:54 < pleia2> might be useful for scale :)
[23:47] <pleia2> hehe
[23:48] <mikestewart> idk... going to be all of $9 by then
[23:48] <pleia2> hehe
[23:48] <philipballew> mikestewart, but with the wife you can work on the bus :)
[23:48] <philipballew> *wifi
[23:50] <philipballew> mikestewart, where do you live again?
[23:50] <mikestewart> ah, right.  didnt make sense.  cuz with my wife, I can't work on the bus
[23:50] <mikestewart> Long Beach
[23:50] <pleia2> lol
[23:50] <mikestewart> but have family in Berkeley, El Cerrito, & Oakland .. so the bus caught my eye they other day, too
[23:51] <philipballew> nice. a competitor to this expensive rail system they are talking about
[23:51] <philipballew> but with the price of southwest these days for san diego to sac, I have been a happy camper.
[23:51] <pleia2> it was weird to me that it's so expensive to get up and down the west coast, there are all kinds of crazy cheap buses on the east coast (where megabus is from)
[23:52] <pleia2> at least from boston to washington, the important part of the east coast ;P
[23:52] <mikestewart> ya, thats a lot of bus rides for $53 billion
[23:52] <philipballew> boston to ny is like only a few bucks
[23:54] <philipballew> pleia2, so I cant go from Miami to Maine foe a dollar?
[23:54] <mikestewart> oh wait, its est 68 billion now...
[23:54] <philipballew> *for
[23:54] <mikestewart> eh, whats an extra $15billion?
[23:54] <pleia2> philipballew: my sister hitchhiked that journey once, but she's kind of insane :)
[23:55] <philipballew> remember how I got back to ca from oscon pleia2 ?
[23:55] <philipballew> yeah...
[23:55] <pleia2> hehe, yeah
[23:56] <philipballew> even to get from la to san diego is around 30 dollars by train
[23:56] <philipballew> If the bus accepts bikes, Id ride it.
[23:57] <philipballew> mikestewart, are you gonna be at scale?
