Back up!
Okay - so, I got ahead of myself here. The actual chronology of events has been lost. Well, not actually lost. I have it, in this wicked steel trap I call my mind. And I will share it with you now, so that it is found.
After moving all our shit and selling the house, we went to a wedding.
I don't have any pictures of it here, because they are all on matthew's computer. So, you will be spared wedding pictures.
Then, we spent the weekend at Lake George, where Iggy learned to swim. There was other excitement, including a power outage, which was all captured on film and then downloaded to matthew's computer as well. So sorry.
The return trip, however, was just downloaded to my (better) computer, and captures perhaps the biggest excitement of the whole weekend (sorry Andy, everybody's been to a wedding - but this... this is really something):
We were driving home through Pennsylvania (prettier and less congested than New Jersey, and, let's face it, a better state all around) and found ourselves adrift amid a virtual flotilla of trucks. Big trucks.
Big trucks with Cingular ads on the back? you say.
NO!
Big trucks with big NASCAR cars inside!!!
YES!
Yes. Now, as exciting as this was for us, you wouldn't believe how exciting it was for the citizenry of the great state of Pennsylvania. There were people lined up along the roadside to cheer on their favorite NASCAR driver's car's truck (driver). For miles and miles and miles.
It was hard to get them to hold still, so the pictures aren't the best. If you look closely in the following one, you will see people jumping up and down waving their arms on the overpass. I believe for #24, who, after some research online, actually turns out to be someone I've heard of. Wasn't he one of the Defenders of the Earth?
Ordinarily, this would lower the desirability of PA as a drive-through state, but it's up against New Jersey. It's hardly a comparison. I mean, it's like running a footrace against a pegleg.
Actually, come to think of it, a pegleg would probably give me a good run for my money.

Well, great. Now I have the Defenders of the Earth theme song running through my head. Except the only part I know is the part that goes: Defenders of the Earth! *whispered* defenders. . .
Just looping over and over and over.
