"Find a tractor trailer truck and draft behind it.."

I almost posted THAT story... well similar. While living in Lawrence, we went to a friends wedding north of Kansas City. Somehow go in behind a Greyhound bus and wanted to pass it...but... he was going 60+...so, for about the only time in my life, I drafted! Zoom! Must have held close to that bus for 15-20 minutes....why I might have saved 50 cents in gas! But we made good time. It was a bit scary, as I was too chicken to get REAL close like at NASCAR, so there was a bit of buffeting. I don't think the bus ever knew I was there. Finally got near a town and things slowed down.
