But for one semantic argument from the moving company (They asked the BEST day for delivery, if I could pick a date for delivery what would it be – I said first Thurs in Dec as I got there Dec 1 and was having rooms painted. When it was Wednesday and I hadn’t heard anything I called and they told me that Thursday was the opening of the delivery window – of 14 days, it took 7 so it was like camping here, only stupider) the move went well and yes, my dog who hates and I mean hates car rides made here sedated but better than anyone hoped. Having my friend ride back with me helped.
Soooooooo, Oscoda from Jersey City and NYC area – there are no Bank of America branches within 75 miles of me. This will be a bother when I want cash. Grubhub and Seamless participants are zero. Hungry Howie’s, and a place called Oscoda Party Center that has a million sandwiches, pizzas, yadda yadda AND, no shit, if you ask and pay they will deliver a bottle of Jack Daniels, or maybe you’re a Pinot kind of person, any bottle of liquor or wine or 12 pack of beer, just throw it on the order. The weather hasn’t been all that crazy for a Great Lake in December. It’s so dominant here, it’s right on top of you when you go almost anywhere. I LOVE it. Walks in the woods with the dog are far better than walks to the Hudson River to see NYC, they are because the dog fucking LOVES the woods, runs, pulls me, yips, and has a blast up here. She’s like a puppy again. She heard her first coyote in the woods up here last Monday night. She stared for 10 seconds then trotted on. I’m told there are black bears as well as the odd cougar in them thar woods.
My new home office view
I got the tattoo I mentioned of 11,790, the number of days my wife and I were together. Note the typewriter font as one might see in a book
After Alpena, White Walkers (they took this sign down like three days after I took this – timing is everything)
