Arlington, TX

So, we’ve been here in Arlington, TX for about a week now and all we’ve seen is the hotel, the very good Mexican restaurant in the hotel, Scholtszky’s, Popeye’s Chicken and the CVS. Rita has an abscessed tooth and had to get antibiotics and will have to get a root canal when we get back. We took a picture of the new stadium they are building here in Arlington and will post it when we get home. The hotel is near train tracks and lots of trains go through here. The train sounds are nice, not annoying like we thought they’d be. The hotel has lot’s of HBO channels. We watched Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Incredibles this week. We think we'd be great in a movie about us. Rita said get an agent.

Flint, MI

We're in Flint, MI so Rita can take a JAVA class at Mott Community College taught by Sun Systems.

It was cold and windy today. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 45!

Odessa, Texas

So now we're in Odessa and it's windy and dusty again. We've learned to keep out mouths shut, not only because Rita might stuff us in a suitcase but because we get all dusty and gritty.

Odessa is a sprawling city. The people are nice and there are a lot of good places to eat.

The Days Inn has a great staff and we have a nice large room.

Pictures soon.

Childress, Texas

We were in Childress last week. Lot's of old, large brick buildings downtown, mostly empty. The city still has lots of brick streets. They are building two new hotels along the highway which runs through the town. Lots of truck traffic.

It was very windy there a couple of days and Rita kept us in our travel bag, saying she didn't want us to get all dusty. We think it another excuse to keep us quiet. So we whined louder and she let us out and then we got all dusty and sneezy. Rita was right again.
