YOu mean like the ancient small person steering a cadillac down the florida freeway that passed my DH going more than 80 peering over his steering wheel with oxygen tubes up his nostrils?

Yup. Probably down there from Lancaster County, PA for the winter...

This is just a hair beside the point, but I always loved how my grandma complained great uncle would drive his station wagon like he drove his team back in the day. "He slows down WAAAAY before the stops! It takes him forever to get going! I'm surprised he doesn't try to FEED it!!!"
He ran with it, too... clicked his tongue when hitting the gas when he knew my sis and I would catch it... Great old folks. Made me painfully nostalgic at that age, for the Fremont my parents grew up in, with the clamshell button factory on the Wolf River (which is now the Bridge Bar) ... old Hwy 10 made by the local crews, horse teams and kids (Uncle Alvin was one of those on the crews)... nights of beer and the hand-made instrument band by the old Hotel (which is still standing) with all the 1st gen german folks sharing their oldworld music and homemade pilsners, banjos and washtub bass... dusty roads and whippoorwills in the trees lining the fields... *murmurs on*
*drifts off into the '30s for awhile...*

Don't worry, everyone, I'll make sure we behave. No promises on *how* we'll behave, but we'll certainly behave in a manner best fitting us. I have nothing against women behaving badly.

we had this really cool girl come out a couple weeks ago and try to do some banding. it didn't work (well they got 3 birds) and went back to anchorage. i got to talking to one of them, sarah, and she's all about running and biking. so i told her that if i got the job in anchorage we would have to get together.

i just happen to email her today about moving into town to see if she would still be interested in training together. she said she just hunted down my email as i emailed her because she was just looking up race schedules (running/biking/tris) and wanted to see when i was going to be healed and if i heard anything on the job. well i now have a training buddy, though not sure how badly she's going to kick my @ss. hopefully not to bad. i told her hopefully i'll be running "normally" by june. i'm even more excited and terrified now to move!

CWR- Fantastic news!! Making running/biking buddy in Anchorage even before arriving, way to go. How are your moving plans coming along?

they are coming. haven't packed anything more since what i already mailed out. probably should work on that, though i really don't have that much, i don't think. did get my ticket out though, and made arrangements for peanut flight also. we fly out on the noon flight on march 30th.

BTW, X, you would have laughed so hard if you saw the package job my BF did with his stuff. He only bought one roll of packing tape, so 75 percent of the boxes were not sealed, so you had to hold them on the bottom so they didn't open and they were overflowing at the top. Then he ran out of boxes so he did the old throw-it-in-a-garbage-bag thing then ask yourself 20 times which bags are trash and which are stuff.

Not that I'm making fun of him at all. I wouldn't do something like that.

[chickwhorips]

OTG that's funny. no wonder you got such a good work out. you had to be coordinated also to carry those boxes up and down steps!

Yippee!!! Peanut will love the new home.
