My copy of A Night in the Lonesome October is packed in a crate with about half of my worldly possessions (the other have sitting in storage in Lenexa, KS) and is most likely on a ship between Germany and the US. I should probably be paying more attention to hurricanes in the Atlantic, but since I can't do anything about it... maybe I'm better off just ignoring the weather reports

I didn't even try to activate my old Tracfone when I got back to the States. The number and minutes that I had on it when I was here last year were long expired and I didn't figure it was worth it. I've got a newer Tracfone to use until I get moved back into the house and decide what I'm going to do about a cellphone.
