A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, ”I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper sticker, the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday-School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. So naturally… I assumed you had stolen the car.”

Yes, I’m still alive. Currently, sitting at the local coffee shop borrowing their wifi and having a latte. We have successfully made the transition to Grand Junction, and are staying with Brian’s grandparents. We’ve had a couple more snafus with the house, but things are still on track to close on the 12th. Here’s hoping!

Well, it’s hot here. HOT. It’s been over 100 nearly ever day that I’ve been here this week, and I am NOT used to those temperatures anymore. Bayfield is nice and cool by comparison. I am liking the access to shops and stuff, but the temperatures will definitely take some getting used to.

The cats are doing ok, except for Ozzy… poor guy is just freaked out by the whole thing. Karma and Shiva are staying at Brian’s parents’ house, and they’ve settled in quite nicely. Alley and Ozzy are at the kennel, and of course Alley Cat is a regular trooper. She doesn’t seem to mind at all. Poor Ozzy, on the other hand, was traumatized by the drive, and is just not happy about anything. I’ve been visiting them both every day, and we got him to come out of his box for a bit on Saturday morning, but he pretty much hides the whole time. I’ll be so glad to get them all back into our house.

The dogs are fine… they’re getting along with Buck (grandparents’ dog) and really enjoying the opportunity to run full speed across 10 acres of hayfield. We go out for a walk every morning, and they’re loving it. I’ll be glad to get them back into a fenced yard, though. No fence and a rural highway make for flat dogs, so I keep them inside unless we’re walking. I don’t want flat dogs.

Currently on the agenda for me is finding a part-time job and getting my business set up. Logo design is in process, and as soon as that is done I can order business cards and make flyers. I’m thinking I’m going to target small business IT services… driving to businesses is a lot cheaper than setting up a shop, and I’m all for lower overhead. I’m really not going to make a push for anything until we get into the house, though… mostly because I don’t want to have to leave the dogs at the grandparents’ house. They’re good boys, but it’s not fair to ask them to watch them all the time.

So… that’s what I’ve been up to. I’ll post on here as often as I can, but we have no internet where we’re staying. That means whenever I can get out and get wifi for my laptop, AND remember to post, I’ll keep everyone updated.

Finally, because I’ve been horribly lax, here is the Monday Happy List!
