Even though I am not fond of the Freightliner chassis & cowl, I wish that Ford continued to produce the B-Series chassis and cowl to this day; and I wish that Thomas remained an independently-owned entity rather than being purchased by Daimler/Freightliner in 1998; here is an FS-65 chassis & cowl with a manual transmission.
The Thomas conventional body also has the blue interior with blue seats.

WJBK-TV’s (which should still be a CBS affiliate and should still be owned by Storer Broadcasting to this very day) studios on 9 Mile Road in Southfield, Michigan.
Storer had the studios for all of their television properties (WJBK-TV, WJW-TV/WJKW-TV, WAGA-TV, WITI-TV; and WSPD-TV) be designed and built in the Plantation architecture, which is why you see that the architecture of WJBK-TV’s studio that was completed in 1970 has a Southern flair to it.
And yet another post about how much I loathe many modern NASCAR drivers being involved into sports and being avid fitness enthusiasts, especially and including Kevin Harvick, Elliott Sadler, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth and his son Ross; Jimmie Johnson, Regan Smith; and Josh Wise.
And also, how much NASCAR Canadian Tire Series driver Gary Klutt; and Formula 1 drivers Nick Heidfeld, Jenson Button, and Dominik Kraiheimer involved into sports and being avid fitness enthusiasts just irritates me.

This post is another example of just how much the majority of the world’s population being into sports, and the majority of families in all of North America having children who are heavily involved in sports just irritates me.
This post is also an example of just worlds of broadcast radio & television, ham radio; and DXing distant AM/mediumwave stations is better and is much more important than the world of sports. And how much the automotive world is also better and much more important than the world of sports.
Last, this post is to re-emphasize the fact that don’t like some of the pupil (icky, yucky) Basketball players that are the subject of this blog post having buzzcut haircuts.
Even though I am not fond of the GM chassis & cowl, the municipality advertises that they had purchased this bus, a Blue Bird Conventional from the school district that was getting rid of it in December, 2000 before they had repainted it white and had turned it to the Police department’s Mobile Command Center.

A Blue Bird conventional on the International 3700 chassis with an auxiliary manual transmission and a 2-speed rear axle.
The 3700 was the lower GVWR version of the 3800, just like how the 1723 was the lower GVWR version of the 1753 when it came to the S-Series.
A School Bus chassis with an auxiliary manual transmission and a 2-speed rear axle has always been a rarity, and always had to be custom-ordered.

The Deauville airport in Normandy, France; a very 1960’s airport. Just one way I would prefer an airport to be in nature.
Other ways I would prefer an airport to be in nature are that it would be very 1970’s, very 1980’s; and from the early 1990’s.

The recent Garry Marshall film titled “Mother’s Day”, like many other modern films; is not my cup of tea.
The recent Garry Marshall film titled “Mother’s Day” also isn’t my cup of tea because it’s about being congregated around people in general (in other words, people being social butterflies), being congregated around family members/relatives, gift giving; and pregnant women about to become new mothers.
Video of a documentary that had aired on PBS in 1979 about Gary Marshall, the shows that he had created for ABC; and when ABC’s slogan and image campaigns were modeled after the Orleans song “Still The One”. Gary Marshall, at this time; was obviously more vibrant as he was younger, as opposed to him now being an old curmudgeon in his 80’s.
This motion picture evokes thoughts of if modern NASCAR drivers such as Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Elliott Sadler, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Brian Vickers, Casey Mears, Regan Smith, Josh Wise; and Michael McDowell were casted by Garry Marshall in this movie instead of actors such as Julia Roberts, Hector Elizondo; and Jennifer Aniston.
And I would spoil both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day for these modern NASCAR drivers because I don’t want them to be the driving force behind the change and modernization of NASCAR, they should have never been allowed to get married, have children, and start a family in the first place; their marital status should remain the same as when they first began their Winston Cup careers in the early 2000’s-being that they should still be single; they shouldn’t enjoy celebrating the holidays with their relatives, they definitely should be banned from dressing to the nines, they should be fat and overweight instead of being fit and muscular; and they should have always been banned from being involved in sports.
I still consider these guys to be new drivers, and that drivers such as Bill Elliott, Ricky Rudd, and Rusty Wallace should still be racing.
The Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents from me to these modern NASCAR drivers and their families would be a ride on my personal School Bus, so that they can finally comprehend just how much more important School Buses are than sports and fitness.
I would also spoil Mother’s Day and Father’s Day for NFL players Tom Brady, the Manning Brothers, and Drew Brees; NHL players Shane Doan, Derek Morris, and Tyson Nash; MLB players Kyle McClellan, Matt Holliday, Steve Pearce, Clint Barmes, Reed Johnson, and Chad Gaudin; and NBA players Eric Montross, Scott Pollard, Matt Geiger, Jud Buechler, Chris Burgess, and brothers Brent and Jon Berry; just to get them all to realize how much more important School Buses are than sports and fitness, and also; how much more important the broadcast radio and television and the ham radio worlds are than sports and fitness.
As I am always digging for information in search for the real truth as to why the demise of Storer Broadcasting, below is a link regarding a court case pertaining to the company and KKR’s hostile takeover of the company.
