Folks, I have a Ford F-150 truck that is pretty rank from countless
spilled bean dishes left to molder, but can also be used in a pinch and
to police up random items left over from the big push with the 24'
rental truck.  My first (and so far only) wife promised to help me clean
it for my birthday, so maybe that can happen first, certainly by the
solstice. I've also got dollies, if needed, and will bring liquid
entertainment.

I'm a little daunted by the big move, but I'll keep my craven cowardice
to myself.  Nothing can stop us!

Everything looked pretty normal at the room when I swung by this evening
with pizza and bread, so I gather the big push to start packing up
hasn't started, and probably won't for another week.
