Just thought I’d jot down a few things while I sample the Nag Champa. This one’s boring, but not bad. Of the 35 or so I’ve sampled, there are 6 that are great and 5 that are going to Paula. The Vanilla Musk is heaven. Tom likes it, too. Again I’m surprised by some of them. I thought Lauren would have a nice feminine scent, but it’s got a weird scent that’s not all that great. Meanwhile, the Pear is way cool and I’ve never been into pears yet it’s got a really nice refreshing scent. They gypped me a stick in one bag and gave me extras in other bags. The Cut Grass smells so lemony that I wonder if they didn’t screw up and give me their Lemongrass instead.

They’re getting flight-happy on me again so I’m in a race to get back on days as they’re obviously going to keep at it for a while.

Tom brought up a rather unique idea. At first I told him he was crazy and to forget it, but it might have some potential if some of the negatives could be ironed out. He suggested we sell our furniture, and maybe even our computers too, and trade them in for laptops. Then we’ll store most of our stuff or get rid of it, then we’d live in an RV with a built-in generator. Then we’d buy about 3 small chunks of land in various states and get a cabin kit that we’d build for each place. The cabins are really small and would only take a couple of weekends to build. Between the RV and the cabin, we wouldn’t even have 1000 square feet of living space. Then we’d sell the places and build our “dream home” on a huge piece of land somewhere. They have these really cool circular house kits you can buy where everything’s precut. All you really need to do is bolt them together. You can get a basic kit for only around $15,000 and add as many rooms as you want to stem from the basic round great room. You can even get 2-story houses.

I definitely don’t like the idea of being cramped in a cabin and an RV for any length of time, but I like the variety we could have till we settle down somewhere, whereas if we move to wherever, we’re stuck there whether we like it or not. In the RV, however, if we get stuck with blacks, Hispanics or stormin’ Mormons who have to make their every move known to us, we can just get the hell out. Anyway, Tom’s checking into it further. We just want to make sure we explore each and every option available to us so we can make the right choice, or at least have a much better chance of doing so.
