A Life without Stuff

Life in the new house so far is great fun, but it feels like a secluded getaway cabin mostly because it's pretty empty. The movers won't arrive til 7/19 or 22nd. But we went out and bought a bunch of new furniture (not duplicating anything that's coming with the movers of course) and that gets delivered tomorrow. So it'll start to feel more like a home then I imagine.

No net access at the house till around 7/19. So I'm spending a good amount of time at the cafe. Tonight's open mike night. Some impressive college age talent. A banjo is playing now.

The DMV is about 400 feet from our house so today I got a NY state license and started the process of switching over the car to NY registration.

A DMV in a small town is _not_ painfull. Short lines, friendly staff and they answer questions even if they are really in their job specs! They'll look stuff up for you we found zero surliness.
OH NO! Apparently stand up comics are allowed tonight too! Bad bad idea. There's no help from a 2 drink mininum when drinking coffee.

Up next electric mandolin. There's a fair number of hippies in this town. And that's a good thing.
