On the Road Again... The Traveling Lab Coat goes Truckin'

Breaker One-Nine! Breaker One-Nine! This is "Brian D. Chatter-Blogger" here bringing you an update on the ongoing journey of the Traveling Lab Coat. It's been listed again by the previous winner, ebwizcom.

The TLC, (as it has been nicknamed by ebwizcom), just might be in the most interesting part of its journey so far on this 5th leg of on going grassroots effort by eBay Community members to raise money for various favorite non-profit organizations. 

The non-profit chosen by ebwizcom is the St Louis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which you may know works to save lives and end breast cancer. 

What makes this fifth edition of the TLC interesting? As ebwizcom puts it, "I thought it would be fun (to) put some real MILES on this thing and put the 'travel' in the traveling lab coat!" Convenient for the TLC that its current owner is one of our nation's dedicated truckers, responsible for hauling goods across the country. And boy, have they seen some interesting things, like when ebwizcom's big rig the TLC was riding in hit a buzzard.  But the TLC and ebwizcom survived, thankfully.

With the 4,587 miles traveled, the TLC has been on a whirlwind tour through 11 states. It sure resembles the campaign tour of a Presidential candidate. It's not too late to get the TLC on the ballots, is it? "TLC in 2008" has a nice ring to it, eh?

But I digress. If you'd like to read about the entire journey the TLC and ebwizcom took together, be sure to check out ebwizcom's TLC Journal. Don't miss the TLC Map where you can follow the route the TLC traveled. 

Finally, let's not forget the auction for the TLC ends on January 14, 2008. Don't miss out on the Free Shipping offer. Perhaps most importantly, the winner is helping to raise funds for the St. Louis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Currently the highest bid is $251.00. It should be exciting to see how this stage of the TLC's fascinating journey turn's out.

That's a Big Ten-Four, Good buddy!

Over and Out!
