Just down the sidewalk and around the corner we saw the CNN bus. It was very impressive with its election campaign paint job. I took some photos and then met the driver. I told him that I was a retired jet pilot but my secret fantasy was to drive a large bus like this. He said “Let’s go in, fire it up, and you can drive to our next stop in Oklahoma.” He was kidding of course, but did gave us a full tour. It was fascinating for me, as a technology nut, to digest the magnitude of the whole thing. One side was covered with flat screen monitors, the other side with a long couch and all the other luxuries you can imagine. The back of the bus was chucked full of electronics manned by a full time technician. They have the capability of transmitting four satellite feeds simultaneously.
