TODAY'S TOURBUS TOPIC: Summertime Stuff
Hi All! I've decided to take a little break from the Best of Tourbus
series today, and offer up a bunch of websites to help you (and your
kids) while away those long summer days. If you can't think of anything
to do, gather the family around the computer and try some of these
suggestions...
But first, a word from our kind sponsors. Please visit and tell them
you appreciate their support of this publication.

PLAN A VACATION
---------------
Forget the backyard sandbox and kiddie pool. Why not pack up and hit
the wide open road? Here's a really great website I recently found
that'll help you select the perfect vacation spot:
Travel Information - http://www.TravelInformation.com
You'll like this one because you don't have to spend hours downloading
and printing "electronic brochures" with grainy pictures. Browse around
and select up to 25 vacation guides, maps and travel planning kits, and
they'll be mailed to you FREE OF CHARGE!
These are all high-quality, full-color printed materials for places like
Orlando, New Orleans, Arizona, New Hampshire and many more. Pop in and
order your free travel kits today.
GET LOONEY WITH BUGSY
---------------------
If travel isn't your cup of tea, how about an afternoon with Bugs Bunny?
In her "Tribute to Bugs Bunny" page, a woman known only as Diann provides
transcripts of Bugs Bunny cartoons, and links to sound clips from many
Bugs Bunny episodes. My favorite is the one where Bugs says "What an
imbecile! What an ultramaroon! Heh heh heh!"

READ A BOOK
-----------
When my daughters come to me with their invariable daily refrain of "WE'RE
BORED - WHAT CAN WE DO?" my answer is always the same: READ A BOOK! The
problem is, they've read all the ones in the house, and the library is too
far to walk. Ah, but technology comes to the rescue. Visit Project Gutenberg
and download a bit of classic literature. With over 1000 books in digital
form, there's something for everyone here.

PLAY A GAME
-----------
Okay enough reading, time to put the ol' brain in neutral and play some
games. Here are a bunch of links to fun games you can play online:
FunBrain Games for Kids - http://www.funbrain.com
WorldVillage Games - http://www.worldvillage.com/online/games.htm
Karl Hornell's Java Games http://www.tdb.uu.se/~karl/brain.html
CATCH A BUS
-----------

some cool stuff! In recent issues we featured Online Medical Info, Music
& Midi, Tudor England (pages by Patrick's Mom!), and Do It Yourself Computer
Repairs. And we now have online archives of TOURBUS PLUS, so you can catch
up on back issues like "Public Records On The Web" and the hilarious "Many
