(no subject)
Greetings from...where am I? Just kidding, I know that I'm in Tucson, Arizona.
So, my trip west hasn't been as smooth as I planned.
On my way back from the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans on Saturday night, my car started doing funny things. Since no mechanics are available on Sundays, I postponed my trip for a day and went to the mechanic Monday morning. The mechanic said my best option was to cross my fingers and start driving, which I did. I made it all the way to (drum roll, please) Hammond, LA before my car died. And I mean really died. By the way, Hammond is about 60 miles away from the mechanic. So, I got it towed, moved all my stuff into one rental that I was only allowed to take as far as Baton Rouge, Louisiana, sold my car to a junk yard, got a second rental in BR that I can drive all the way to San Diego, moved all my stuff into that, and was on my way again. I haven't yet worked out plans for the San Diego-->Vancouver leg of my trip. I'll probably end up flying, which sucks because there were all sorts of cool people I was going to visit in San Fran.
Even though it's only 9 in this time zone, I think I'm going to go to bed now.
