Alternative Transportation

Between being too impatient to wait for slower internet connections (boy, ADSL has spoiled me) and too busy to wait for slower internet connections, blogging is at a standstill!

But here is one quick observation:

Netherlands is to bicycles as the U.P. is to snowmobiles. Only bicycles are gassed up at the dinner table, not the corner gas station.

Oh?

Can anymore trees be torn down in southern Jefferson County/north Shelby County for subdivisions? Oh wait...I see a few still standing.

Huh?

"Deal or No Deal" - it's just picking suitcases? Where are the funny costumes and the big doors? I was expecting a "Let's Make a Deal" re-make.

What the...?

When did the 10 dollar bill turn pink?

It's Like Riding A Bike

Driving, that is. I drove today! First time in about 50 weeks. It was to a dentist appointment, and I did just fine. Well, parking was a little difficult. And there was that moment when I shifted into drive instead of reverse. (My bike in Holland doesn't have such technology...) But my parents-in-law van got back to the house just fine. I like this feeling of hopping into a car; it's much faster than riding a bike and much easier than waiting for a bus! We just got word that we have a car on loan to us for a little while when we get back to Holland, so maybe I can enjoy this feeling a little longer.

No cavities, by the way.

Expats in America

We moved out of The Basement and left for America on the 19th. Our things are in storage until we move into our new home in a new village in Holland. In the meantime, we're enjoying being in America for a few weeks! I decided that it is awfully dangerous to send me to the grocery store or Wal-Mart...not because I'll buy too much, but because I'll get lost in the sea of decisions. It's worse than last year.
