From Greg Nesler, via text this morning:
Did another 120 miles through the Ozarks. Hot hot, but not too bad like last year. We transitioned about 15 shy of TS33.
Ken and Jeremy were riding very strong! Could be from the Mcdonalds they had [in] Pratt, Kansas. Jeremy had 2 chicken sandwiches ken had 4 double cheeseburgers and 3 large fries!!! [ed: GEEZ!!!!]
The owners of the mcdonalds in pratt are great!!
My quads hurt and I need food. Perhaps a large pizza. Both Brad and I are eating non-stop and we are both losing weight!! It's crazy. This morning, I had RAAM oatmeal out of a cup! It's on the menu for the next morning shift.
From John Tyner, via text:

Tailwind in Illinois

Wind gone, storm looming, past greenville

Winds calm, off shift, will call later.
(Can you guess who was texting from an iPhone?) :)
When John called, he shared that he and Kevin had been riding to beat one storm all day, while chasing another. They never got rained on, but saw plenty of evidence that there had, indeed, been rain. John said that there was lightning on all sides - which, if it continues, will make Greg very nervous. He was actually hit by lightning as a teenager, and came away from the experience with a healthy dislike for the stuff, as well as endless challenges with anything battery operated that he has to wear next to his skin.
