I think there was some bus meet going on; I don't follow the east coast stuff.

OTOH, I looked out my back window this AM and saw 5 buses...

"A rash of Busses" is that like a pride of lions or a gaggle of geese?

Nope. The proper term is a $hitload of Hippies. Just like camels. Smell is similar.

"Hippies. Hippies all around me. Ooooh Hippies."

"They say they want to change the world, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad..."

Actually, the proper term would be: "a rust of busses."

A 'rash of lasses' would need a thorough check up, including a urine analysis.

I read about an early barndoor bus that went for north of 40k!

I have to admit to having a soft spot for busses. I've got my neighbor's '72 westy in the garage right now... they really are great vehicles. I'd probably buy it, but wifey doesn't want to be tagged as a hippy.

Was there a Phish or Grateful Dead reunion concert nearby?

no, just an ordinary day. I mean, they were parked, all of them in front of houses.
