rssThere is wisdom in turning as often as possible from the familiar to the unfamiliar: it keeps the mind nimble, it kills prejudice, and it fosters humor. - George Santayana

Road Trip - Arrival
Arrived safe and sound in Maine on Monday.
She arrived safe on Sept 12 after a two week trip across the country. Five days were lost with car trouble, a crushed fuel filter had to be replaced over the holiday weekend and she got a tank of gas with a lot of water in it. Apparently this is a common problem in Indiana and Ohio where the humidity is 88 per cent on 90 degree days. So she not only moved but learned a lot about the car.
She got a lot of long distance help over the telephone from our wonderful mechanic here in the Bay area, even though he knows she was moving and probably won't be a customer any more. I am so thankful he was able to give her helpful suggestions.
Her cat was safe, and so happy to land in permanent quarters. Now comes the unpacking and settling in, another adventure in itself.
