Adventures on the Motorcycle

We went to meet a girl yesterday halfway between here and Jackson, TN. We met at Loretta Lynn's Kitchen. It was not very tasty. They make this red eye gravy consisting of ham fat and coffee. It smelled foul! Then, as we were conversing over lunch, we hear loud singing. There was a girl back in the back singing with the radio. You couldn't see her, but you could hear her. Our waitress said that she was trying out for American Idol soon. She wasn't bad, but it was just funny that she would sing so loudly behind a wall! Brock got her autograph as a joke. However, if Kristin Renee from Loretta Lynn's place makes it, we've got her autograph!

Because the gas prices are so expensive, we took the motorcycle. When we came out of the restuarant, Brock noticed that the chain was loose, so he tightened it. He had to stop three times to work on that chain, so we met some interesting people while we were fixing the bike. The first guys we met were motocycle guys. They were decked out in leather and scoffed at Brock's Honda. However, they had to push start some of their bikes. They may have been Harley's, but they were OLD. Then, we met another motorcycle guy on the side of the road that helped us tighten the chain again. He was very nice and tried to sell us his Honda. I only had one of our dvd's on hand. I tried to give it to him, but he took off too quickly.

Then, at a gas station, we met a family from New Orleans. They had never left Louisiana but were moving to D.C. They, like many others, have lost everything. The family was really cool...I thought they were a band at first. Brock gave them our dvd. I'm glad they got the dvd. Maybe during this tragedy, they will watch the message and accept the hope that Jesus offers.
