Log: Lubbock or Leave It! - 3
2006-03-18 � 11:48 p.m.

11:30 AM � Rob and Meredith have taken me around the campus of Texas Tech University
1:19 PM � Rob and Meredith have taken Amy and I to the infamous T-Mart. One of the things painted on the window that seems to be offered inside is Baptisms.
1:20 PM � There is a tank top that says �baby phat� on it, it comes in 6 different colors.
1:21 PM � Meredith says there is no need for me to go to the back right corner because it is all African American hair products. I go anyway, she was right. But it is a fantastic sight. I have never seen so many hair extensions in my life. Two large walls covered from floor to almost ceiling.
1:24 PM � Along the back wall they have some Latin American soccer stuff. The back left corner is tons of dresses for all sizes from baby to women. Some are very beautiful and at a decently inexpensive price. The right wall of the store is half hair barrettes (many of which are patriotic) and half t-shirts. The front left of the store is clothing.
1:32 PM � We have left T-Mart. Overall, it was like an upscale thrift store that sold new stuff instead of used, but still cheap, along with lots of hair stuff. We could not find the baptisms though.
1:35 PM � Amy thinks that they should build a petting zoo instead of the 97th CVS of Lubbock.
1:39 PM � �If you get diarrhea at Cheddar�s you call it �the cheds�� - Rob
[I think this is like the Cheddar�s in Mansfield, Ohio, how exciting!]
1:42 PM � We pass a billboard that reads �Porches Rock!� Like front porch I guess. Weird
1:47 PM � There is a strong smell of natural gas outside the city. Also I have never seen so much garbage all over the fields and streets in any place in my life.
1:48 PM � Rob and Meredith have taken Amy and I to Pecan Ridge. Check out pecanridge.com
2:00 PM � In the Pecan Lovers Cookbook, the recipe for the �Chinese Mystery Loaf� calls for not only pecans but also cottage cheese
2:45 PM � We are at the prairie dog park. This is hilarious.
2:52 PM � I just had my picture taken with a large tumbleweed!
4:15 PM � I am at the Market Place United grocery store. This place is very fancy. So fancy it puts Heinen�s to shame.
4:20 PM � I have seen so 3 kids now sitting on the bottom of the cart, you know like under the basket, where you would put soda or dog food.
7:45 PM � We have researched Lemmings on the internet. It seems that Disney messed things up as usual. We are now working on some little kid�s from England�s crossword puzzle about Lemmings.
8:30 PM � We tried to go play bingo at the American Legion Post, but the address did not seem to exist. All the numbers close to it were residential neighborhoods. We are trying to go bowling but we can�t find that now either.
9:43 PM � We found the Bowling Alley. I bowled a 46. Boo. Everyone else did well though.
