Hitched a ride to Wyoming!

Well I made it to Gillette! The surprize birthday party was a success! A lot of little events on this trip made it memorable. I threw up, I worked with a carpet layer, went to youth group, saw a day old baby, watched Ironman, ate some turkey sausage, went out to eat with former co-workers, worked on (or watched a friend work on) a car to drive back to Kansas, watched Xpelled, House, and drove 500 miles to Ord, NE yesterday. I got to see what my parents do for fun last night. I didn't realize they had so much fun. Party animals really. I stayed up with them and thier friends til around 3, playing darts and ping-pong.

Once I get back to Kansas I'm going to apply to be a substitute teacher. I'm excited about that. Hopefully my juvenile petiton, wont slow me down much. That's a story for another time.

The search is officially OFF!

On November 8th around 1:oo in the PM Brian Shafer, a housesitter in SW Kansas, was on a stake out in front of White's Foodliner downtown Hugoton. Keeping his eye on the Saturday afternoon customers entering and exiting Brian noticed a bagger that just might know the mexican family he was looking for. He decided to make his move. He was then ackwardly waiting to talk with the man when out of the blue a friendly mexican lady was looking at him. Brian commented to reporters, "Yeah we caught eyes and she smiled and then pointed to her eyes pointed back to me. She then acted like she was riding a motorcycle and then pretended to put on a helmet." Brian couldn't believe it! This was the lady that was in the car when Brian lost his stuff. Her name is actually Madi. She then got her sister Coni, whom he thought was her daughter, on the phone and handed Brian the phone. "I said hello and got to the important part about asking about my backpack (mochilla) with my wallet (billetera) and my helmet (cosco). She said, "Si si!" I said, "We We!" Not really. But she said that she would bring it by the store after she showered." Brian told reporters. Brian then called his parents and shared his joy with them. When Coni got there she gave him his stuff and they then tried to talk with each other. She ended up inviting him to church (mexican pentecostal) and for food afterwards. After she said the food part Brian was sold.

The authorities has taken Brian's stuff off the Most Wanted list and peace has finally been restored to this sleepy little town in Kansas.

Brian also wants to inform you that he is going to a families house, whom he went to church with, for fun and finger foods tonight and that he is excited about that.

I've got a lead

Well I've got the names of the dance hall's in Liberal. I guess I'm gonna get John Travolta on this case. Whack! Ouch! Yeah Yah!

Sherlock Shafer

Well I'm not packing much supplies for espanol territory but I'm heading in. There's a Mexican Market just down the street from the library. I got some info from a transator to ask the most inportant guestions. WHERE IS THAT GIRL!!!!!!!!! (¿Dónde está esa chica?)
She still hasn't called or came by to drop off my stuff. I've got a friend in town that knows a lot of the people here; she is going to help me out. But today I'm getting my hands dirty AKA taking matters into my own hands (rightfully so) I don't have gun so I might get in some sticky situations. Ewww... Well see how far I can get.

I've got to make this trip sound exciting somehow; give me a break.
