Stick House Blues

A couple of things have popped up today that have us thinking about how different life will be on the road.

It's nothing serious, thankfully. Our other car (not our future toad) is in the shop for a second day on its second visit for its second problem that stems from another problem that was missed the first time. (Did that make sense?) And, after we carpooled home tonight we discovered that our land line is out, and apparently has been since yesterday afternoon. (Now if the cable had gone out we would have noticed it in an instant...that's the source of our internet access!) So, we have scheduled the ever-so-convenient appointment for "sometime" between noon and 7PM tomorrow. We're wondering which will be fixed first - the car or the phone?

Lamenting these little nit-picky problems, it did come to mind that when we're on the road we won't have that car or a land line. True, life on the road comes with another set of woes. But right now, we'd be interested in trading this set for that one.

With no extra car, no phone and nine days 'til we we're on the road again with our moose, we got ourselves a bad case of the Stick House Blues.
