Big Plans
I had planned to go to Amsterdam next Spring, but I've come up with something better... if a bit more pedestrian.
I live in a travel trailer (caravan to you Europeans) on a piece of land about the size of an Amsterdam neighborhood; small, by Texas standards, but not too shabby by any standard. I have lived here for two years and a few months, and I have gotten a bit tired of it. I have no yard: I step out my door into "nature red in tooth and claw." Lately, Texas has had a lot of rain. For the first time in a decade, all areas of the state have had enough rain [go ahead, blame Bush] and the insects (and hence, the arachnids) have responded in force. I have killed over a dozen wasps and two black widows who attempted to invade my space. This must cease.
I intend to build a for-real house out here. It may end up looking like something out of a science-fiction novel set in the third-world, but it will conserve energy and repel boarders.
More to come, plus pictures!!

Queensday 2008 has gone back onto my schedule, and I intend to build up my credit rating for the time being until taking on a mortgage doesn't look so fraught with peril. As an expression of my confidence in my increased earning capacity, I have ordered a Traps A400 nc compact drum set from Tommy's Drum Shop in Austin.
