[BVARC] 2816

I guess I should've clarified that the rumor was that the previously 
published schedule you linked to (Kendleton-Shreveport on 6/17) had 
changed (Laredo-Kendleton on 6/17).  So what I'm looking for is 
confirmation that the rumor is either correct or incorrect, and if the 
latter, what the new schedule in fact is.
