Random, stupid things on your mind

Being that I am considering Billings Montana as a future home, I am watching Wake Up Montana.

Whew... 

And I won't judge about the ugly on-air talent. Absolutely not! They're probably twice as smart as the good looking Southern California news crews. No, make that three times as smart!

At least they have a Costco and Walmart within walking distance of each other and very close to the airport.

@sean92008 Billings?  Holy moly that's a change of pace. Why Billings?  I could see myself in a place like that but then again I'm already in a place like that, but you?
Like what the hell, did you just throw a dart at a map?  Curious, to say the least.

My aunt and uncle owned a few thousand acres up there. They've died and the only cousin I knew is now a Kings County detective. So, along with the name familiarity, I was doing a search of places where Costco exists. Although I'll be on my own, Costco adds a certain amount of accessibility. They don't put their stores out in the middle of nowhere. It needs infrastructure and a certain amount of a tax base because the local governments always give Costcos discounts to move into an area. The only thing missing is In-N-Out Burger.

I looked at South Dakota, problem is is they don't have a Costco. 

Admittedly, Montana property prices have gone way the fuck up. South Dakota may become an option again. I just got to find a place near an airport.

You'll be on your own. As in, a single man. Well you should get a pretty penny from the sale of your So-Cal home, correct? Although, perhaps, not all the proceeds go to you. Come up to Washington and be a commie pinko bastard with me.    Although if you're looking for lower house prices WA may not be the place.

Wife is watching Planes trains and Automobiles   That movie makes me sad.

In the early 1990s, I had a very dear friend who walked into the American Music store and lined me up a gig. I was already looking at Bremerton as a possible home while on a business trip... Then, when they found out I had a real job that I was looking into transferring, the whole thing fell apart.

Plus, they were literally running Californians off the road.

Green country though! You could have a lush lawn and maybe water 15 days a year... 😁

Packing, packing, and more packing. A lot of purging - throwing things out that have been at the back of a closet for 10 or more years. Giving away several bottles of booze, open and unopened. Waves of 'what the fuck are we even doing?' hurl me to the ground only to pick myself back up.

Crazy, stressful, exiting, and nerve-racking as all Ell'

You are anthropologists, digging out that history of those somehow hauntingly familiar people and moving all evidence to a brand new location of ongoing research.

Camazotz Automat Black Feather adds:

It is the way of all life that you do not need
to pack the sun, the moon, the wind, the rain.
For these things follow you.

They will never abandon you.

Once you believe you are finally done packing,
and you are about to depart for the last time from
your old home to your new home, never to return . . . 

For The Great Spirit's fucking sake, do a final dummy
check walk through of every room and sitting space.
