I WENT TO THE BANK AND POST OFFICE TODAY AND HANDLED SOME BUSINESS...SPENT THE DAY EXPLORING OUTWARD FROM THE HOOD...(LEARNING THE STREETS AND DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET TO PLACES)... AROUND NOON I GOT THE FIRST "BAD NEWS" OF THE TRIP. THE MOVING COMPANY TRUCK HAD BROKEN DOWN AND WAS HOPING TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD ON SATURDAY SOMETIME, SO MY FURNITURE AND OTHER "VALUABLES" WILL NOT BE COMING UNTIL MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK...
AROUND 4 PM, I HEADED OVER TO CORNERSTONE RANCH AND SIGNED ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR THE LEASE AND PAID MY PARTIAL RENT FOR NOVEMBER AND RECEIVED MY KEYS... DID THE PRELIMINARY INSPECTION REPORT AND RETURNED IT AND MOVED ALL THE "VALUABLES" FROM THE CAR INTO THE APARTMENT... I AM NO LONGER HOMELESS!! THE PLACE IS GREAT...2 BEDROOMS (SO Y'ALL CAN PLAN ON VISITING), A NICE ENCLOSED PATIO, OPEN LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM AND KITCHEN... I AM FACING INSIDE THE COMPLEX AWAY FROM STREET NOISE AND A GOOD VIEW OF THE POOL...I PLAN A PHOTO SHOOT SHOWING BEFORE AND DURING AND AFTER THE MOVE AND WILL SEND PICTURES OF THE TRIP WHEN I GET A LITTLE MORE SETTLED IN...
ON THE DAY OF MY "COPS" EPISODE, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON THE GOLF COURSE... WE HAD JUST FINISHED THE FIRST NINE HOLES AND WERE WAITING ON THE 10TH TEE AND TALKING ABOUT EAST COAST WEATHER, WHEN A BOBCAT MEANDERED ACROSS THE TEE BOX ABOUT 20 FEET IN FRONT OF US! HE PAID US NO ATTENTION AND WALKED INTO THE DESERT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TEE, OBVIOUSLY HUNTING FOR LUNCH...(YES, I GOT A PICTURE)... WHEN WE FINISHED HITTING OUR SHOTS, WE DROVE AROUND THE CORNER AND SAW HIM LEAP INTO A SCRUB TREE AND SNATCH AN ANIMAL OUT OF THE TREE AND WALK FURTHER INTO THE SCRUB...(IT WAS LIKE AN EPISODE OF "WILD KINGDOM")...
SO, NOW I HAVE THE WEEKEND FREE...(HMMM, MAYBE I'LL PLAY SOME GOLF!)...GLAD I HAVE THE AEROBED AND MY PILLOW AND BLANKET BECAUSE I AM SLEEPING IN MY APARTMENT SATURDAY NIGHT... GOING TO ADD UP THE MILES AND SEE JUST HOW FAR ME AND THE MIRACLE JEEP HAVE COME... IT WAS KINDA NICE HAVING YOU GUYS ALONG FOR THE RIDE... BUT DON'T WORRY. THE BLOGS WILL CONTINUE...
AS AN ASIDE, WENT TO CVS TO PICK SOME STUFF UP AND SIGN UP FOR THE "EXTRACARE" CARD, AND THE GUY BEHIND THE COUNTER ASKED WHERE I'M MOVING FROM... CENTRAL NEW JERSEY I TELL HIM... I LIVED IN NEW JERSEY HE SAYS...YOU KNOW WHERE NEW BRUNSWICK IS? HE LIVED 10 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE I USED TO LIVE! (CAN'T GET AWA FROM THESE TRANSPLANTS!)...
