Officially... out of Champaign-Urbana.
Woot.
The only hitch to the move was the landlord not doing a walk through the apartment with me. Shame on me for not scheduling for Monday, but shame on her for not calling me back after 3 phone calls and 2 messages.

- Yesterday a storm that magically began in Des Moines and eventually stretched diagonally across Illinois wrecked havoc. Our immediate area, thankfully, did not get any funnel clouds, hail, downed trees, loss of power, or the 3" of rain in 30 minutes that areas on both sides of the river received.

Highlights from the Mississippi Valley
On Wednesday I drove up to the parents' house, unloaded the two bookcases, and then spent two hours re-organizing books in my Dad's office.
