I sold the microwave! To a rusty gentleman in a temporary stay complex.
I’m in LA. Now all I have to do is cool my heels, plan the route, and wait for Fritz to get here! It looks like my original route is the worst possible choice, going through many mountain ranges. The best options are: north through Salt Lake and Wyoming on HWY 80 OR south past the Grand Canyon, Albequerque, and then up through Tulsa Oklahoma. I’m leaning towards the second option, partly because its warmer, and partly because I’ve always made fun of Tulsa and I owe it an apology. Also, it would be nice to show Fritz the Grand Canyon!
It seems that the ear problem is a mysterious low grade infection not so mysterious histamine reaction that appeared when I went back in my place. Hmm… and the mold is totally harmless, right? This is good news
