Fit for a King!
After a long hard day, preceded by several longer and harder days, I return to my new abode after running to the post office to mail a bill that had to be mailed today. We locate the old portable grill and the little propane bottle and enjoy lime flavored tortilla chips with salsa while we BBQ some chicken for dinner out on our new roof deck.
After cleaning up and some other shuffling around the house, it’s finally time: warm to the touch, but not too hot. First, the left great toe; then the foot; followed by the other. As my body slips into the warmth of my new tube, my feet are longing. Longing for me to hit this little white button next to my right hand. With a roar and rumble, the tub springs to life with jets of massaging pleasure relieving the aches and pains of moving TONS of crap in addition to advancing years. Now, it’s time to drift to sleep, only to face another day of unpacking.

Ugh, I cannot sleep. Too wound up with all of the crap going on in my life. It's going to SUCK later today because I've still got to go to work, pay attention, and then come home a pack and deal with all of the of moving stuff. NOT FUN! Oh well. On the brighter side, the packing is progressing pretty well. We'll probably be on target for next week. Probably.

Packing break! We're getting ready to move to B'more, week after next and I'd say that I have about 80% of my office packed...after three days of working! Yikes!
Okay, most importantly, is all of my "regular" readers need to know that the main web page is going to go away now that we're leaving UoM, but the blog will continue. So, re-bookmark the link to: http://umms2007.blogspot.com/
I'll have to just start posting all of the pictures within the blog, which I've been doing anyway. And, it's time for some more! I have been telling my family (at least some of them) about the trucks with which I share the road and how they have 42-wheelers as opposed to the normal 18 wheels. I finally got a picture of one! There are 10 axles of 4 wheels plus the front axel!
Also, the other day on the way to work, there was a truck flipped on the other side of the highway. (No, it's not the same truck pictured here, fortunately!)
Of course, I probably should have been paying better attention to the road immediately around me, but by this time, everyone else was rubbernecking down to about 5 MPH, so I had no problems snapping a couple of pics.
Finally, I've been getting ready to depart from my intern year. It's been a good year and I'm still happy that I matched, even if I have had a hellish commute. I was taking a few pictures of my program director and this was the best one. A man after my own heart.
