The ride was longer than it should have been; 70 miles on strong headwinds and an awful road. The way roads they do roads in Texas is pour asphalt and then throw loose rocks on it. Dumb. Sam and I made the best we could out of it by talking in Texas accents (This is Amurica, and if you don't like it, you can git out!). No flats for me, but for others in my group, maybe the new tire is working.
Lodging at Lubbock Christian University. Single rooms again! I went overboard and spent a whole dollar on new flip-flops at Wal-Mart and picked up some of that tasty Icy-Hot.
Dinner and softball with the Lubbock State School. We had some good brisket, and Adam and I ate with a woman, Lisa. She had been around the program for awhile and now volunteers with the State School. Fox and NBC were there to do a story on us. Phil slipped up in his interview and told the reporters that our Triple Crown would be 300 miles in 300 days, not 3. Haha. (I don't know if I should keep writing "haha," it feels weird). Softball was fun, I hadn't played for a long time. And then I broke a bench when I sat down. Unfortunately, Jaffee forgot to set his alarm for Central time and overslept the friendship visit. I hope he doesn't get in too much trouble.

You and your flip flops.
YAY for being famous on national television! If I had a tv in my apartment, I would definitely keep it on 24/7 just for a glimpse of you on your JOH (Journey of Hope)! Keep it up, Vince! And your next post is long overdue.
