Thank you to all those that were kindly sending supporting energies
toward my attempt to get work not just in my newly-chosen field, but
for this West Coast position that, by all appearances, is basically my
Dream Job. Your cosmic might (plus the grace of TPTB) has been
successful! I start on the 19th!!

Now comes the insanity of packing and arrangement-making for the
second coast-to-coast relocation. Hopefully I am done for the
foreseeable with the East Coast.

Again, thank you all! Life is good!

Although totally impractical, a car trip across your great country rather
than the flight from coast to coast would be a once-in-a-lifetime
experience - one that I wish to experience before I die.

I hate moving. The Old Man was in the Civil Service when I was a kid,
and we moved across country every eighteen months to two years. The SO
and I have been in our house for seventeen years and neither of us wants
to go through another move, either!

For my part, you're welcome!

On the other hand, I've derived a certain amount of sadistic pleasure
from the reflection that the place where the explosive that didn't -
quite - go off must still be causing the would-be bomber excruciating
pain....

Blessed be,
Baird

I *just* got back from driving 5,500 miles round trip from my home in south
Mississippi to the redwood country in northern California to spend the
holidays with my family. Wonderful experience, I highly recommend it. :-)

When you get to make the trip, let me know and I will pass on some tips and
tricks to make the trip a better (fewer problems) experience.

It is interesting, at least in the northern reagons where I did it
while in the military far more years ago than I care to remember. For
me, a midwestern boy, the first look of the BIG mountains in
Wyoming....

I wouldn't bet on it. Jackdaw quite often means exactly what he writes
- even when it looks at first glance as though he's being either
inaccurate or silly (except that sometimes he means to be silly, which
just confuses the issue even more thoroughly!).

Ah well, he is a fellow corvid, after all! Birds of a feather, and all
that stuff.

Strictly speaking, he is a Corvus, of course - Corvus monedula, a member
of the family Corvidae, genus Corvus. It's just that it'll get confusing
around here when there's more than one self-proclaimed Corvus!

Don wrote about driving from the mid west to the west coast while he
was in the military. I did something similar while in the Army. I
drove from Baltimore to Seattle in about five days with wife and young
son. The experience is one I will treasure for the rest on my life.
Watching my son try to catch a prairie dog was quite funny. We had a
great time moving west. I have to admit I was exhausted when we got
to Fort Lewis.
I am much wiser now I would let my wife do some of the driving.

Everyone have fun.

Why I have always been here. Sitting in front of the screen typoing
away. But I will go metaphysical - with a K and relative with an R in
a new thread. Has it really been a year ? Lots of informed nods means
it is true.
