Moved, not necessarily moved in. The house is pretty much squared away,
we're down to the infrequent cry of 'What the hell happened to our this or
that." But we have the contents of our old garage, sign shop, our 24x66 wood
shop and barn all crammed into the garage of this place. To get at anything
it's like one of those puzzles with 16 spaces and 15 numbered tiles where to
have to slide the various tiles into and out of the empty space in order to
get what you want. Unfortunately, in our case all 16 spaces seem to be
filled.

Never Move!!! I'll be smiling from above or below when I leave this world:
someone else will have to clean out my barn and basement! I have no garage
so the mess is below and beyond.

Moving is much like having an epileptic seizure while being devoured by
wolves. The only way we're moving out of this place is feet first or in
irons to debtor's prison. We've been spending money like drunken sailors, so
debtor's prison is the more likely of the two. Horses are put up at a
friends place a couple of miles down the road until the cast from
Deliverance finishes fencing this place. They operate in a time zone
somewhat detached from the rest of the external reality.

Whew, you have the cast out in your area too? They must have a traveling
troop because the very same scary, toothless, plaid shirt wearing guys were
here two years ago setting in posts for me. Time? What's that? A constraint
devised by humans who evidently impose this upon others for reasons unknown
to the *Others*.

Then the really expensive satellite internet uplink in which we invested
heavily sucked the pipe this morning and it will be some days before Lum and
Abner, the local rustics that see to such things, can be on site to effect
repairs. So for the nonce it's back to this incredibly primitive dial-up.

I feel for you. :( Dial up sucks the big kahona.

We were on Direct TV back in the People's Republic but in this region Direct
TV doesn't offer local and network programming. We told them to pound sand
and signed on with Dish Network which does support local and network feeds.
Unfortunately the have to put up two, count 'em two, dish antennas, one for
the cable stuff and one for the local/network crap. Add to that the larger
uplink dish for the satellite internet and there's a post out along side the
house that's fairly bristling with antennas. Looks like we could land a
space shuttle or contact beings in some other galaxy.

Ah, think of Christmas, I see a whole new shape for your tree. It'll be a
wonderland of twinkling lights the sight the neighbors never thought they'd
see in this world. Get your twinkle-on off bulbs for a festive season of
illumination. Cable not out there in the wilderness yet?
