5/6

Another good night in Denton at Chris and Kelly's. Today was another day of errands. The most memorable was finding a new home for Lin's bike. The vist to the bike shop yesterday was wildly disappointing, ane the guy basically told us to scrap the bike. So, we decided leaving her on the nearby campus was the best idea. We left a note and everything, so no one gets confused:

It was a touching ceremony.

 We waited for Kelly to get off work, and then we hit the road. We headed due west on highway 380. This road would be fine during the day, but at night it is creeper central. Guy at the gas station creeped us out, 15 year old boys trying to pick us up creeped us out, and constantly seeing unidentifiable animals lurking on the side of the roads creeped us out. To make it worse, we jack knifed in Haskell.

This proved to be a bigger deal than we thought. Fifteen minutes later I (Carrie) let my laptop fall four feet onto the pavement, then I reached into the back seat and realized Polly had chewed up a pastic gallon of water and it spilled all over my purse. Awesome. We quickly found a Wal-Mart in Abilene and called it a night.
