BY GOD!!! You people who live in goat thorn country have my deepest sympathy.
I've had thorn flats during four of the last six rides. The one today was the worst, as I walked home (I was only a little over a mile away). the others were slow leaks that took a overnight to leak down. This certainly gets old.
I'm going to get a set of "tire tenders" to see if I can't brush off the thorns before they fully imbed in the rubber.
Sheesh!!!
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Death to thorn bushes!!

Tom, Try "Slime" in your tubes. It's saved us from many a walk home in puncture-vine (goat head) country.
