Following The Pens!!!

Well good morning everyone! It’s a beautiful morning here in Butte. So this blog will have two main topics. The first is pens and how they get around, and the second topic is tires. So lately I’ve been thinking about pens, yes the pens that you write with when you’re at, let’s say, Target or Applebee’s. I first was thinking about this because I was studying for a test in the library last week and looked down and had a personal pen from Garry Bock in Seattle, Washington. Now I have no clue, not even an idea of how I went about to get this pen. Think about it next time you’re out and about and you write a check or have to sign your receipt. Look down and see what your pen says and where it’s from. It makes me want to start a track the pen website, like how people have track your bill. Sometimes on your dollar bill there is a stamp that has a website where you can type in the dollar bill number and it will tell you exactly where that dollar bill has been. It would be interesting to see how pens circulate. I would really like to know how many people my pen from Gary Bock has been with and how it really got to me in Butte, Montana. So now that we got that up in the open, I would like to ask: when did new tires get so freaking expensive? I blew a tire out on the way back from Helena on Sunday afternoon right outside of Boulder. Since my left arm was hurt from the game on Saturday, it was really difficult to get the new tire on. Then my truck came off the jack so I couldn’t get the truck high enough to get the new tire put on. My dad had to come and bring me a couple of blocks so I could lift the truck up a little bit with the jack and then lower it and set it on the block. So I could then put the jack on a block to the lift the truck high enough, it was a process let me tell you. My tires still had 20,000 miles left on them so Les Schwab gave me a $100 off and then another $100 because I’m a Montana Tech student. You can believe my excitement when I found out that I got $200 off. Well everyone, I will chat will you all later this week!!!!
