Wee ooh, Phil looks just like Buddy Holly...


Oh oh, and I'm Mary Tyler Moore.

Of course, this means I am in Lubbock, Texas. In the LaQuinta, next to none other than the Buddy Holly statue that is a wee bit creepy and apparently means the world to the home town of said fellow. Forget Texas Tech University. Lubbock is all Buddy, all the time.

What else does this mean?

It means I am nowhere near San Antonio, and only hundreds of miles (heheh) away from MY home. Oh, Denver. How I long to caress your thighs. I just need to travel through the bowels of Amarillo and the belly button of Pueblo before I can do that.

Currently, Amos is running around like a crazy person as he works off hours of time spent strapped to a carseat. Wilbur the Cat just took a giant cat potty break in her cat box, followed by Amos taking a giant baby diaper break. I suspect the other two Porters will soon follow their lead. Such is the life of vagabonds.

Suggestion to those traveling through Big Spring, Texas:

Do not, I repeat DO NOT, ever eat at the Wendy's in Big Spring. They tried to serve me a bloody burger. Sorry, Big Spring fast food workers. I am not fond of contracting your E. coli surprise.

Other than that, we give a big thumbs up to LaQuinta. Thank you for your soft beds and your free breakfasts (especially the giant do-it-yourself Belgian waffles). I heart you, LaQuinta.

But not as much as Denver.

Yummy Belgian Waffles. You all deserve them after the past five weeks.

Safe travels back home. Just in time for election day, too!

Phil "Has Miles To Travel" said...

This is the third time in 12 months we've stayed in this La Quinta. You'd think they'd give us a free breakfast or something just for stopping in Lubbock that many times.

According to MapQuest, only 544 more miles to go!

I've never eaten Belgian waffles, what are they like?

544 miles to go! It's less than 150 miles from the bottom of Wales to the top!

Glad you are almost home.

You took your CAT?! I'm very impressed. You must have one of the few cats on the planet that doesn't riccochet around the car constantly.

Glad everything's going well!

That song has been going through my head since you posted this. At least Weezer is a GOOD earwig to have.

Mmmmmm . . . waffles.

Safe travels!

I travel that same route when going from here (Fort Hood/Killeen) to the in-laws/future home for us (Colorado Springs/Fort Carson). I know exactly what you mean about Lubbock and Amarillo. It's only after I get out of there that I can breathe a sigh of relief and drive the next 8 hours until I get to my bliss again.

LOVE Weezer.


No joke about the e coli. Huge problem at a Harvey's in North Bay, Ontario recently. Ugh.

Marge said...

you know what would totally crack me up? If they did one of those LaQuinta commercials with Amos' face and that funny deep voice guy. I can totally see it.
