Remember if you’re out and about and you happen to spot a policeman in a skirt and heels ticketing your car or someone asks you to hold their baby, only it turns out to be a skunk, you’re probably on Just For Laughs. Just act confused. They love that. Happy trails to you, Frank! ---

Drive safely, **Frank**. Once you hit the border, remember to pay all bribes in the form of maple syrup. ---

So much for an early start. I walked out of U-Haul this morning very pleased with myself for negotiating my pickup at 8am instead of 11. I just got a message that the lady didn’t know what she was talking about as the truck won’t even be there till 9, and needs to be inspected, etc. I guess that’s good, but damn!, I was looking forward to getting a 5 or 6 hour head start on my schedule. Oh, well. ---
