What did you encounter on the greyhound? By the way when you ride on the San Joaquins from and pass Corcoran you see a lot of lights thats Corcoran State Prison the most dangerous in the State of California. When I rode the San Joaquins to Anaheim From Oakland, I met a person on the train who told me that he just got out of Corcoran state prison. Due to the way he looked you could tell that he had been a member of a prison gang for a long time. Despite his looks he appeared to be a polite person. In the other wagon, there was a scarry looking woman sitting in the train carrying groceries. She looked like the people you see on the Jerry Springer show.
When I took the bus to Los Angeles from Bakersfield it become even more interesting. Almost every passenger riding on the bus had a relative doing time in a CALIFORNIA STATE PRISON. So if you want to meet such people Ride at Night.
