Team Thomas
We hooked him up with Harlan's Cannondale frame and other parts that were left over from donations we got for the Broad Creek Bike fair. Chad (pictured left) set up Thomas with those sweet Sidi shoes (pictured above) and Wes (right) brought over some components for the frame. We also had some wheels left over and the brand new Fat Frogs insulated skin suit that Amber Goins donated! Thomas is also the proud owner of a 757cx skinsuit, but I warned him about how impossible it will be for him to breathe in it!
Here is their travelling home. Next stop is Washington, DC where they hope to get a meeting in the White House to talk about the homeless. I hope Pennsylvania Ave. can handle this beast!
We still got to hand out candy and hang with Mini Mouse, so the holiday retained some convention. Kaitlyn is pictured here with Jen Cohen.

I'm not sure that kid can talk about being homeless--that bus is awesome!
After my graduation from UVA I took a Spanish class that lasted half of the summer term, but I didn't manage to hook up any accommodations. Woke up one morning in the back of my stifling hot Subaru wagon with the campus police peering in through the cracked windows. I showed my student ID and they didn't cause much trouble, but I ended up "moving" to a church parking lot where I went undisturbed reading--Shaw's "Saint Joan" was one, I think--and enjoying the rain splashing on the illuminated black top that I had all to myself.
Nice job getting all those donations, Liz.
Oh, Art, I LOVE "Saint Joan" but I think Shaw's "Major Barbara" would have been the more fitting companion in the car that night! I never knew you spent a "half homeless" summer at UVA!
I'm pretty sure that I saw that bus in Santa Barbara, parked along the beach, in January of 09 AND 08. Whoever is living in there has the same square footage as I do. PLUS, they have a BBQ :-( and I don't.
The Jessop family lives there--Thomas, David and father--along with 3 dogs. It was in Hampton Roads Sunday.
