The Bus :: essays research papers

The BusI yield this friend named Ted. Ted has an old school bus all spray-painted and beat up looking. This in and of itself is not that enceinte a matter. What makes this bus different is he attached the top half of a Volkswagon van on top of the bus. This bus has been around for around xv years or so and has looked about the same if not worse the whole time. See, Ted used to live in this bus. Its a project he has been works on for some time now. Numerous people meet asked him why he wont get disembarrass of the ugly thing. His parents dont ask him to, they tell him to get rid of it. I have wondered myself why he has a bus such as he does and why he bothers putting so much bills into it. I do notice a slight difference in Teds eyes when he is working on it though, so there must be something about it worth saving.Ted Jensen was born December 29, 1969 right here in Vancouver, Washington at the old Memorial Hospital (now a clinic I have been told.) His parents are still alive an d kicking along with his brother and sister. I met Ted as my neighbor when I first moved to my current home. He has a strong sense of whats right and fair, as I feel I do. This must be the biggest reason why I like Ted. That and he would not intentionally hurt anybody without them deserving it completely. He may be a little headstrong at times, but he is very lightheaded going most of the time. If I ever need anything, and I do mean anything, Ted is the guy I go to. If he does not already have it, or have access to the item or information I want, he can usually tell me who does.The year is 1986 and the location is a refreshing Dead concert. As Ted was enjoying the festivities of such a concert he came across a vehicle that pulled him to examine it closer. It was an old school bus that had been rebuilt and remodeled into a go home of sorts. Ted knew then that he had to have one and proceeded to investigate his options. As luck would have it one of his friends needed some cash flow for a lawyer and had a 1976 school bus for sale to get it.
