Moving Day

Everyone has moved.  We are no exception.  This time, however, it was literally across the street.  We left our compact, one-bedroom apartment and segued to a contemporary. two-story, single-family house. 

So much space ... as the intro to Star Trek used to say, "Space ... the final frontier ...".

We're still unpacking boxes and probably will be doing this for a few weeks.  The cats are having a ball, running around and high-fiving each other because of all the exploring and viewing spaces.

I just read this morning that the mining industry is having trouble finding workers.  Another perfect example of how we've been taught that blue-collar work is beneath us.  I wonder how many college grads would jump at the chance to make some big bucks doing manual labor?

This is a trash receptacle in Paris.  Notice how it's so practical and simple.  A stand, to which is affixed a disposable plastic bag.  No heavy, bulky unsightly container.  Just pure, intelligent design.
