Yeah I saw that this is what I did and ended up finding a hole on the other side of where I thought it should be. My guess of what has been happening is that this week is the first time I have been riding without much light and that now that I can see debris I can't avoid it like I have been. My first tube went on the tiny spiky thing I found as did the second tube. But I must be riding over an area everyday that I just cant see that has something going through my thin cheap tire. So I went to a overpriced LBS and got an Armadillo brand tire which I imagine is along the lines of this Gator tire. $37 bucks, but I needed it today and just put it on and I guess we will see. I will look online for a better front later, but that does not seem to deal with the same forces as the rear so hopefully it can last a week or so. Thank you all very much for your help and I hope my commute this afternoon is finally a complete one.
