a bear in his natural habitat! a studabaker! (aka. moving right along)

Well I’m typing this from Toledo OH, taking advantage of the Hampton Inn’s wireless network. Things with U-Haul did resolve themselves, though not without some additional drama that will not be discussed at this time (because it gets back to my own stupidity).

Yesterday I packed the last bit of my apartments and with Drea as navigator set off for Chicago. We made it more than half way, ended here in Toledo around 9.20pm. We ended up after a few minor misadventures finding a place called Jeb’s Bar B Que for dinner. While there wasn’t much BBQ, they did have deep fried pickles which we availed ourselves of.

In a few moments we’ll be departing for the final leg of the trip. Then the unpacking phase. Oy… I can’t wait. Seriously. Don’t expect any more blogs until early next week as I don’t know what my connection status will be.

Oh, as a final treat, I present in my opinon, the ultimate road song:

Kermit:

Movin’ right along in search of good times and good news,

With good friends, you can’t lose,

Fozzie:

This could become a habit.

Kermit:

Opportunity just knocked, let’s reach out and grab it,

Together we’ll nab it.

Fozzie:

Ya! We’ll hitch-hike, bus, or yellow cab it.

Kermit:: Cab it?

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along

Kermit:

Foot-loose and fancy free.

Gettin’ there is half the fun; come share it with me.

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along!

Kermit:

Doog-a-doon, doog-a-doon

We’ll learn to share the load.

Fozzie:

We don’t need a map to keep this show on the road.

Kermit:

Movin’ right along we found a life on the highway,

Fozzie:

And your way is my way–

Kermit:

So trust my navigation.

Fozzie:

California here we come, come pie-in-the-sky land.

Kermit:

Palm trees and warm sand–

Fozzie:

Though sadly we just left Rhode Island.

Kermit: (spoken) We did what?

Fozzie: (spoken) Just forget it.

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along

Kermit:

Hey, L.A., where have you gone?

Fozzie:

Send someone to fetch us, we’re in Saskatchewan.

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along

Kermit:

Doog-a-doon, doog-a-doon)

You take it, you know best.

Fozzie:

Hey, I’ve never seen the sun come up in the West.

Fozzie: (spoken) A bear in his natural habitat! A studabaker!

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along

Fozzie:

We’re truly birds of a feather,

We’re in this together–

Kermit:And we know where we’re goin’.

Fozzie:

Movie stars with flashy cars and life with the top down.

Kermit:

We’re stormin’ the big town.

Fozzie:

Yeah! Storm is right, should it be snowin’?

Kermit:(spoken) No, I don’t think so.

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along

Fozzie:

Do I see signs of men?

Kermit:Yeah, “welcome” on the same post that says “come back again.”

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along

Kermit:

Foot-loose and fancy free.

Fozzie:

You’re ready for the big time–

Kermit:

Is it ready for me?

Kermit & Fozzie:

Movin’ right along!

Movin’ right along!
