I sing of two lasses of Burmingham
Shall we weep at the scandal concerning them?
They're now in the dock
For lifting the ...
On second thought, let's not go there. Congrats on a safe arrival.

In Birmingham they love the governor, boo boo boo
Now we all did what we could do...
Actually, let's not go there, either - the next couple of lines imply something I'm sure doesn't apply to ord. Good to see you're connected again!

Thanks...had to unpack all the stuff today. Left the PC for last. Yesterday was an epic drive...from Midwestern City, Oklahoma to Birmingham. 700 miles in 11 hours. I took 15 minute breaks every 2 hours, but I don't want to think how many cans of Red Bull I downed.
Now comes the fun part. A list of things to do. Top priority is getting an apartment.

.... I gotta ask my folks what their fastest Baltimore-to-San Antonio run was. Of course, they have the advantage in that they drive in shifts.

Boy this place reminds me of the Philippines or Okinawa. 90 degrees with 90 % humidity. The back of the fridge and freezer are both showing condensation when I open the doors. Dehumidifers would be the second thing I buy. AC unit would be 1st if there's no central air or heat.
No wonder people here are easy going. Being Frenetic here is just not done.
