Communication Blackout

Going computerless this week. So, you won't see any more posts for a while. (Unless I sneak over to the library or brow someone else's computer.) So, sit tight and you'll hear from us again live from the UK.

Interesting observation for the day: Prince Edward lives about 15 miles from the town we'll be in. (Amazing how close things are on that little island. We're probably 15 miles from some big prison, or a nuclear reactor, or some major sanitation site too.)

We'll still be in Houston this month. Sitting here like drowned rats in the constant rain. (40 days yet?) Trip planned to San Antonio and SeaWorld with kids. Sure hope it stops raining - no fun getting sprayed by Shamo on a wet dreary day. Looking for other weekend excursions as we'll be literally living out of our suitcases in an empty house for a month. Boo.

I pretty much fully expect another "Perfect Storm" to hit the Atlantic while the ship with our stuff is out there in the middle. I remember seeing a clip one time of a ship in high seas and the containers broke free and were just dumping over the sides down into the deep blue. Okay if it's just some $1 plastic shoes (okay, well not for the environment, but you know what I mean), not okay if lose all the stuff you own. And we Americans certainly love our stuff. The biggest thing you see under construction these days are those storage unit places, and banks. (I guess the banks are for the loans to buy new stuff so you can put your old stuff in storage. . .?)

Okay, enough commentary. Back to cleaning out and prepping for the movers.
