A moving experience
Finished unpacking a 17 foot U-Haul truck today -- six filing cabinets full of hotel receipts from 1983 and the like. My Mom liked the minutiae of bookkeeping and saved every record that she could get her mitts on. My Dad's condo garage (two-car) is now standing-room only. I set up a large table in there, will get some decent lighting in there over the next day or two and we will be spending this winter sorting through it all. The issue here is that we have found stock certificates and cash (several countries bills and change) scattered through envelopes from telephone bills from the 1990's absent the bill (those are in another cabinet somewhere) but complete with the enclosed advertising pamphlet.
I can see where I get my packrat tendencies. There is a lot of very cool stuff in there too (in sort of a time-capsule way) so I'll be posting some of the more interesting ones.
Not too much else to post today -- the world is turning along without my notice, the Middle East is still full of ninth century corrupt theocrats who want a return of their beloved caliphate (which didn't work back then either -- don't these mokes understand history). Congress will be a lot of fun for bloggers everywhere what with Nancy Pelosi (who visually reminds me of a perpetually startled small town real-estate agent) is championing Murtha for speaker -- considering Murtha's ethics and history, this should be a fun Ka-Boom.
Starting back with the Precision Machining class later this week and am looking forward to that a lot!
