The TdS! filter is set up, and I have posted the project name and a tease line over there.
More once I have
(a) collapsed
(b) recovered from said collapse
(c) unpacked a little
-and-
(d) had a chance to actually make sense of my pages of mad scribbling notes from the road trip.

If you are still wanting in on the filter, just let me know!

Safe and sound in new home, and its unpacked. Can I collapse now?

In a Motel Six by the Gary, Indiana Airport.
I've lived across the street from the Projects in the Filmore District.
I survived four years on Capitol Hill.

This place has a sticker on the door "For your protection, when in room engage deadbolt and security latch." (My italics)

Sure glad we took theft insurance on the truck...

In Lincoln, Nebraska.
Think I'm coming down with a cold.
The next three days just got even more interesting...

Made it out of Utah in one piece.
Sitting in a Travel Center in Wyoming and enjoying a little break after those windy, mountain roads!

In Salt Lake.
burningroses' ride is picking her up shortly. From here on in, I'm on my own...

burningroses and I are in Findley, NV. We have utilized the hotel pool and hot tub, and are about to walk across the street to make use of cheap casino food. Please note, we also have a whole bag of change that was taken out of the House Confusion Built.

Muahaha

And our home internet went offline this morning, so no more posts until we're on the road.
The truck is all packed, and I'll leave bright and early tomorrow. Posts on b-day and packing up will happen as soon as I get some time. burningroses and I are off!

I meant to start posting musings about the packing process and the move yesterday (including Birthday musings). I don't have time yet. Ye gods, how are we going to get this place packed, cleaned, garbage hauled to the dump and the truck loaded by tomorrow?

Anyway, time to start using my Crosby and Hope "Road to" icon!

In fifteen minutes I will no longer be the answer to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything...
