or; glad to be there, and glad to be home
Hey everyone! I'm back from a long trip out to NC to help BlueDev with the move to New Hampshire!
And what an adventure it was. I'll post some of the photos I took as soon as I get around to it . . . (wow, that's really promising). But it was really fun, and a lot of work. Our half-day in DC was sure exciting, though. That's where all the pics are from, and mostly all in the Air and Space museum. (What can I say? We're geeks. We know where our interest lies.)
But driving a twenty-four foot huge Budget truck through the Bronx with all their small overpasses was not fun. It was nerve wracking, to say the least, and it reminded me of a story I told BlueDev after we were through - which was good, we might have had wet seats in the truck otherwise.
When I was on my mission, my comp and I were driving back from Las Vegas NM to Santa Fe, where we lived. He was tired, and had fallen asleep in the cushy seat of the Sable - man, what a grandma car. There was a semi about a football field's length ahead of me, and I was a little weirded out by that - you never saw semis on this part of the freeway.
And that's when I found out why. As he pulled up to the underpass, I heard a horrendous, bone-scraping CRUNCH . . . and saw the top three inches of his trailer scraped off for ten feet. Elder Anderson, my comp at the time, jumped up, bellowing, "What the crap?" and looked up just enough for the good laugh.
We felt terrible for the driver, but it was funny to see. Suddenly we knew why the overpasses on that road were always being repaired and replastered . . .
Anyway, that's all I've got for today. I'm still recuperating from the move. But it appears that my internet connection may be working again, so I should (hopefully) be back with more frequency . . .
Hopefully.
