Yesterday was town hall:
High- epic dance party when we got back from mini golf and go karts
Low - packing my bag every morning
Today's highlights included:
Amazing lunch from nolans parents.
Thinking I had a flat only to find it was a leaf in my brakes.
Crossing through 3 states.
Sticking my head in the ice machine.
Watching sam spill soda everywhere.
Swiming and getting a real towel at the host site.
Realizing I really want a russel terrier of my own (I think that's the breed of dog).
Not so awesome highlights of the day include:
Sam flipping over his handle bars and landing on his back when he got stuck in tracks and shot out. Luckily he was fine!
I rode the last 15 miles by myself because I wanted to. It was good I got cranking but I was def dehydrated. When I got to the church I called doug because I was just exhaused and slightly out of it. I realized I gotta take care of myself out there. It's hot and the days are getting longer.
Also, to make Travis happy, I would like to say that I do have better grammar than this blog. I type on my iPhone so as long as it is legible I don't worry about it at all.
I can't believe we are already over 600 miles into the trip! Spent a while tonight talking with Sam and Kyle about life. Good talk but we missed Club Northern. Bummer. Oh well. Build day tomorrow - I'll be painting, and will have pics tomorrow. Also the stats from today because my bike is not near me right now.

diane, while it is not my choice i implore you to consider the consequences of becoming a dog owner and especially the owner of a jack russell terrier. they are incredibly high energy, intelligent and intense animals. they need wide tracts of land and appropriate stimulation to be happy and healthy. they have a host of diseases endemic to the miniaturized breeds and non-northern breeds (man is not good at natural selection, the arctic winter is). they smell like dogs (something you've been spared with the glory that is sammy and allie). they destroy property because they are so high strung and in my experience have been yappy and high maintenance dogs. they have a history of not being good with children and even mauling toddlers because their tolerance for children is so low. dont you make me bring up the cat. while i cant stop you, understand that if you fuck with animals (i.e. enter the threshold of irresponsible pet ownership) you will get on my shit list faster than you can do a 800. sources to supplant what i read in seventh grade in absorption mode. love ya diane
