Matt didn't start the fire...
A near death experience always helps to memorialize a trip. As an added extra bonus, you were responsible for putting out the fire yourself! You should have asked for some hazard pay. At any rate, love the info on the Jack distillery. I only wish I had a glass in hand with some Jack on the rocks. Miss you bud, be safe. Godspeed Matt Paz!

"Smoke gets in your eyes" - The Platters
Anyway, that was my attempt to win second place for best title :)) I have to say so far I vote this the best entry. This is what a trip like this is about. A burning hotel room, where you stepped up to try and actually help the motel, who didn't even seem to care. You could have just fled the room with your stuff and left the motel. Kudos to you for that and glad you are safe. Good thing you woke up though, I guess Motel 6 can't afford smoke detectors or if they have them, change the battery. Both stories you shared were very touching and it really does break your heart. A lot of people would see Dallas and pre-judge her by her looks, where she works etc, not knowing her life. She, like many other people in this country, is struggling and trying her best. Yet these types of stories and the conditions of many of the American people are not talked about. I'm sure there are Non-profit orgs and charities that are out there to help them, but are not advertised to us. We are instead bombarded with commercials to help other people around the world. Which I think is great as well, but what are we doing for the people here, especially those affected by Katrina. I think, actually from what I hear, you and I are going to see New Orleans in a whole new way and really understand what Dallas is talking about. Can't wait to see ya Shaun

Travelin' With Ya!
I've enjoyed watching the sunset with you. Did you get the feeling I was following you everywhere you went? Sure feels like I am! Thankfully I didn't start traveling with you until after the fire. ;-) Hope you write a book about your adventures cuz it will make for excellent reading. Have a safe, fun time. Love, Lorraine

Pretty intense I would say. I could just imagine you flipping the towel at the wall, and the wires spitting back at you, as you let out a high pitched wail. Ha Other than that, glad youre alive. THe Dallas story is making me want to take a roadtrip and visit her. This entry make me feel that your roadtrip can be made into a movie, like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. get working on that. -keep on truckin son
