The van showed up right at 9:00, hence my rapid departure from the board this morning.

This van company apparently has a reputation for being late. I found out today though from talking to someone who has been riding the same bus for a long time that the problem isn't with the drivers, it is with the dispatchers. Very disorganized apparently. So I am glad that I didn't give the driver grief yesterday, and he did seem very nice, also attentitive and responsible... and the same with the driver today.

Plus they know where my house is now (or at least two of them do)
