I routed the board first without ground planes, and then added them.  
The ground planes will not merge with the buses, and can only connect 
through pads.  So I have a ground bus from edge to edge of the board 
with a space to a ground plane that is right next to it.  The 
connection is through short horizontal buses on the top layer that 
connect to the ground plane with pads.  I would have wanted the ground 
plane to flow right into the bus on the back.  The only way I could 
have done this was to eliminate the bus, move the ground plane over, 
then connect each pad to the ground plane.  I didn't want to rip that 
much up after I successfully routed it.  It might not be that big of a 
deal but I didn't want to do it that way.  I also couldn't figure out 
how to have more clearance around pads with the ground plane than 
standard pad to run spacing.  Maybe it is obvious, but it wasn't at 
the time.  Also, I was quite sick of hand routing the board by that 
time and just wanted a prototype.
