New cyber-cafe -- and no USB ports to upload photos. They do, however, have electricity, so that's different from the other place right now, and fractionally more important.
Today we learned that some things are universal. When you're late for church, no matter what continent or hemisphere, the lights are all red, the driver in the fast lane is going 10km/H below the legal speed limit, and you take the wrong exit off the freeway. These are the facts, and they are immutable.
It's cooled off to about 100 degrees today, and the power (and air conditioning) is out in the holiday accomodations, so here we are at the cyber-cafe. Some days it's actually too hot to go to the beach. Other than the weather, which is as big a focus here as it is in Minnesota, everything is progressing apace -- Kris is next to me phoning people about kitchen tables for sale, and we're anxiously awaiting our final move tomorrow into the new place. Our last move was from one holiday spot to the other, and it took us a whopping 40 minutes, including cat. New Mannix record!
Anyway, I think we're going to drive out to look at some couches, but more later!

Congrats on the new record! 4 years to get there, 40 minutes to shift housing. Guess it helps when you probably haven't really unpacked and don't have furniture or appliances to move around. :)

What about your job offer?

Hi, it's -17 wind chill here in good old Rochester and we finally have lots of snow too. I guess that whole hemisphere thing matters. It was good to see your pictures and hear what you've been up to. Can you get e-mail yet? Keep cool!
