Why Craig? Why Craig would you be posting about buses?
Monterey police are investigating to find out how an empty tourist bus managed to roll away from its parking spot Saturday afternoon and crash into the front wall of the Monterey Bay Aquarium.The 40-foot Coach USA bus rolled downhill on David Avenue, about a block and a half away from the aquarium. Along the way it knocked down several street signs and hit the front end of a car. The bus also sideswiped an office building before ramming into the aquarium. The crash caused major damage to the front of the bus and the corner of the aquarium building near the gift shop. However, the aquarium was able to remain open.
Actual Youtube video of the event below the fold. Luckily I am at A (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) and not B (Monterey Bay Aquarium). O' yeah and it's a Saturday and I don't do weekends. 19.2 miles never felt so good.

Ann Littlewood is a one-time zoo keeper and now-time murder mystery writer whose stories take place in and around zoos. An awesome combination if you ask me.
The world's largest zoo and aquarium shot glass collection just got one glass bigger. Someone call the Guinness Book! Growing up in Connecticut, The Mystic Aquarium was basically Benny and my Disney World.
Who, I ask you, is the coolest human being on the planet? Well yesterday (continuing through today and possibly tomorrow) it was Beth F. for sending me this rocking shot glass from the Oakland Zoo.
As many of you know, I collect zoo and aquarium shot glasses. I have the world's largest and probably only collection and it is my pride and joy. When I die, my children will most likely be left poor in "money" but rich in shot glasses. A legacy we can all be proud of.
Amazing no one was hurt or worse. That is just plain scary.
I live in Watsonville and was in Salinas today, I'm amazed nobody was talking about this. Surprisingly I've never been to the aquarium, at least I know there is bus access...
