17 hours and counting

In 17 hours the EQ shows up to load the stuff into the truck. I hope to have most of the boxes gone by then and be down to the big items. We have a lot left to do. Lots of little things, and then the wrapping of most of the furniture.

We've sold all the things we wanted to, except for a chair and a tub of garland.

We're back in the air again as to where we're going.

Final thought, why would someone vote to increase their sales taxes? Did you get a raise last year? Or the year before, or the year before? Did your medical out-of-pocket increase while your coverages decreased and co-pays increased? Is your job guaranteed? Do you have a guaranteed pension after 20 years?

Most of us didn't get raises and our out-of-pocket increased and our coverages dropped. We also don't have pensions. But gov't employees and the teacher's union make sure they get all those things. And WE pay for it. What a screaming deal for them! Hey, let me pay some more sales taxes so they can get a raise while the rest of America takes a pay cut! Sure they claim it is for the kids, but if it was, the teacher's union wouldn't be supporting it. They don't give one rip about the kids. They care about preserving the "rights" of the unionized employees with no regard for where the money is coming from.
