Here I am next to the super cool, Richmond-based Farm to Family bus about two weeks ago when Erin and I stopped by for a visit at their CSA drop-off site. Isn't it rad? I want one. A school bus filled with seasonal, sustainable, fresh foods, that is, but not one nearly quite so... large. I am used to maneuvering a bicycle, after all.
Since throwing myself headlong into mobile market research at work these past few weeks, I've been lusting after school buses. I see them everywhere. On the way to work. Walking home from yoga. While running errands around town. Soon they will probably be sitting in the traffic of my dreams.
The first piece I am trying to work out is what size bus I will need. Like a modern day Goldilocks, I haven't yet found the right one for me. My friend Susan refers to this as "the baby bear phenomenon"....
Too small.
Too big.
Just right? Hmmm. Possibly. It's maybe, what, a bit under 25 feet long? I didn't have a chance to catch up with this one with my tape measure amid rush hour gridlock during my bike ride to work the other day -- it's hard to get my winter bike gloves off that quickly and rummage around in my backpack -- but something along this size could work nicely for a few neighborhood market stops each day. I can fit a lot of produce in there and still be able to navigate the narrow, potholed streets en route to Deanwood, say.
Stay tuned for updates as the mobile market project develops. Meanwhile, if anyone has a lead on a good diesel mechanic in the DC area, send 'em my way. I may be able to drive the thing, but I'll definitely need help with repairs, and my regular automotive consultant (aka, my little brother) doesn't do diesel....
This blog settled every one of my questions I had in my psyche. Truly accommodating and steady topic written in every one of the focuses. Elusive such sort of sites as distinct and responsible to your questions.

While often used painting machines, stretch and shrink wrapping machines utilize entirely different physical principles to protect goods. Stretch wrapping machines operate by rotating a pallet on a turntable or revolving an arm around a stationary load, pulling the film to its breaking point to take advantage of its "elastic memory," which causes the film to try to return to its original size, thus gripping the load tightly. In contrast, shrink wrapping machines involve covering a product or group of items with a loose sleeve of polyolefin film, which is then passed through a "heat tunnel." The thermal energy causes the film to shrink tightly around the contours of the product. While stretch wrapping is the standard for heavy palletized industrial goods, shrink wrapping is preferred for retail multi-packs (like water bottle cases) and providing a tamper-evident, high-clarity finish for consumer electronics.
