ok…Is it really Tuesday? It feels like a Friday cuz I’m happy and lots has happened.

I’m looking at one more flat on Thursday after work. I’ve found one place I really like, but if this place on Thursday is better then I’ll try to get it. Otherwise I’ve settled on one of the ones I looked at Saturday.
This is a big relief. I hope to have it all sorted before I leave for the states (gads…week and a half)…

…and for anyone hoping to rob my place while I’m gone…I’ve decided I don’t trust you and will remove all banking records and anything of value, so don’t bother…
Plus there will be booby traps and such! So…don’t bother….but if you do come watch out for the snakes, scorpions and cockroaches!

OK, past couple weeks I finished that Che book I talked about before. It got much better after the revolution. It was quite good.
Also have read “Ham on Rye” by Bukowski. Fantastic! Much better than “Pulp”.
Now I’m reading “Ghosts of Cannae” by Robert O’Cconnel. About Hannibal the Carthaginian in the good old days. Good read.

Remember how I was complaining about the lack of exposition in the Che book…Well this has lots of exposition. Maybe a bit much, but to be honest I’ve not read much (if anything) on pre BCE Rome, so it’s all new to me. It’s actually a good read.
Not enough maps!!!!
There’s my one complaint!

US plans are coming together nicely. Fly to Seattle. Meet Matt, 2,0 and Carly (Matt’s sister who I met in Frankfurt a few years ago) for a few days. Eric (2,0) pisses off on Monday. Then the rest of us go to Vancouver for a day or two. Carly pisses off to Sydney, then it’s just Matt and I on a road down to Oregon (Portland, Salem, and Coos Bay) then points south…Probably including SF, Reno, Bodie NV, and then back North. Probably stopping again in Oregon before flying back out from Seattle…

I’m a bit stressed about the Oregon times, cuz there’s too many people to see…ack! 😀
