I got along well with all of the drivers. Even Nestor who was crazy AF and talked to himself a lot. If you surprised him, the muttering was usually about his ex-wife. “####ing bitch…” etc.

From time to time, people who were a tad inebriated would try to board the bus. One such time was when Nestor was at the wheel. The drunk argued and argued. Finally, old Nestor had enough. He took off his Greyhound jacket, started rolling up his sleeves and said “If you can get by me, heck, I’ll let you drive.” The drunk pondered for a moment. He must have seen the psycho look in old Nestor’s eyes. He walked out the door. Good call, he would have mopped the floor with him.
Greyhound Fort Mac...theres gotta be stories there!
