Hell on Wheels
Well, just got to internet for the first time in a couple days. Haven't even reached Mobile, AL, so I won't be back to regular blogging (or work) tomorrow. I don't even want to start talking about the trip; let's just say it started Friday with me getting stabbed in the ass and only got worse from there on. Just try to imagine all the things that could go wrong driving a 24 foot U-Haul truck towing an SUV and you won't even be close to all the horrors SarahK and I have been through in this move. I'm just glad there was never any serious consideration of her doing this herself, or she would have driven about an hour and turned around. Anyway, I'll leave it to her to document the horrors (after this is done - more horror to come, I'm sure!). This really could be at least a 30 chapter book just on all that went wrong ("Chapter 12: We're Not Welcome in Jena, LA, Anymore") - with four to just all the trouble SarahK's cat has caused. At least we got to meet a couple bloggers who were really cool (oh... all the meetings SarahK planned with friends and relatives and the troubles with that). We had to cancel seeing one in Mobile, and his photo-journal of the reaction is here. Thanks to the guest bloggers who filled in (I even got an Instalanche from one). For those who are a little slow, the last post is a joke not written by me (and a clever one at that - SarahK likes the ball and chain one). See you sometime this month when I get back home. Hopefully I'll get back before I'm fired from work. Be honorable, ronin. 38 Responses To "Hell on Wheels"
Can't wait to hear from you again. And good luck with the rest of the trip. You'll need it. #1 - Posted by: The Bear on January 10, 2005 01:59 AMUnless you suckered SarahK into driving tomorrow (actually today) you better get to bed and quit checking email...and btw...nice new logos! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA.. I can't wait to hear the "adventure stories." #2 - Posted by: Curt on January 10, 2005 01:59 AMBoth of you are on the road at 2:00 A.M.!? Hmmm Jena, LA. I bet it's a blue parish, looking at the Bush Country 2004 map. Liberal conspiracy to silence Frank J! Can't wait to hear about the ass stabbing. Did you get a U-Haul with the Ginsu seat option or was Sarah practicing ninja moves when you got there and you caught a throwing star in the cheek? #5 - Posted by: Windigo on January 10, 2005 07:07 AMInstalanch? Are you making up words again? #6 - Posted by: Guttrhead on January 10, 2005 08:30 AMahh the move from hell stories you have to love them like a bad car wreck you dont want to look but you just have to oh and btw U-haul sucks your humble servant Hey, you drove right past my building. #8 - Posted by: on January 10, 2005 09:15 AMSo you drove through Alabama and didn't even stop to see me? #9 - Posted by: Chase on January 10, 2005 09:22 AMno, we haven't even made it to Alabama. if ONLY we could make it even to Alabama. #10 - Posted by: sarahk on January 10, 2005 09:43 AMIf you come down I-75 through Gainesville, Fl. Honk as you drive by the Farm Bureau Building. That's where I am.
Very, very foggy crossing Mobile Bay. Take care and wave to the fans. #12 - Posted by: Drew on January 10, 2005 09:53 AMWere you the big yellow truck and silver SUV? I have no life. #13 - Posted by: Drew on January 10, 2005 10:19 AMYou two are turning into the Nick and Jessica of the blogosphere. We should have a group of bloggers traveling around with you, live-blogging all your misadventures and shenanigans... #14 - Posted by: Bubblehead on January 10, 2005 10:41 AMOT: The CBS Rathergate investigation is out. Interestingly enough, CBS blew it the first time they released the story. I'm glad to see their journalistic integrity hasn't failed. ;) #15 - Posted by: Confederate Yankee on January 10, 2005 11:58 AMi'm going to phone in an anonymous tip to the ATF that a moving van pulling an suv has a couple dozen illegal automatic weapons--they'll have your stuff spead out all over the interstate shoulder and anyone who hasn't figured out by now that the bizarre photoshops that pop up here every now and then are completely fake and at odds with reality, are wasting precious oxygen and should throw themselves into the nearest active volcano #16 - Posted by: sirkisser on January 10, 2005 12:24 PMStabbed, hmm? Hmmm.... Jena, La.--- lol don't think I wanna know. Did you pass through Baton Rouge, La? -- if you did, and ida known, probably coulda got you an escort through. oh well, have a safe trip anyways!! #18 - Posted by: Nighthawk on January 10, 2005 01:58 PMi'm going to phone in an anonymous tip to the ATF that a moving van pulling an suv has a couple dozen illegal automatic weapons-- hahahaha, I can see it now... OFFICER: "It seems you are the author of an extremist right-wing website, advocating (and I quote), 'nuke the moon!'" FRANK J: "No, but thats all a joke!" OFFICER: "Sure it is." FRANK J: "Okay, youre right, I was serious about that." OFFICER: "And you maam, it seems you had an incident with trying to get gun paraphenelia through airport security recently?" SARAHK: "Um... but it was his fault." OFFICER: "I see no reason why I shouldnt just shoot you both here by the side of the highway." #19 - Posted by: Andy on January 10, 2005 01:59 PMAndy, this is the SOUTH. They'll get a police escort, not a shooting. #20 - Posted by: Confederate Yankee on January 10, 2005 02:30 PMEvidently youve never had a run-in with the Louisiana state police... #21 - Posted by: Andy on January 10, 2005 02:55 PMI am so honored to have been linked to by the mighty Frank J. #22 - Posted by: Joel on January 10, 2005 03:36 PM> Andy at January 10, 2005 02:55 PM If they make it to the Alabama border, they'll be safe from there on in. Well, the locals in Leon and Alachua Counties, FL, might be an issue, but otherwise, CY is correct. Most law enforcement personnel are so far right-leaning, they're almost horizontal. My kind of folks. #23 - Posted by: basil on January 10, 2005 03:50 PMMy dad lives in Gainesville, he told me the cops in Alachua are friggin' insane. #24 - Posted by: Army NCO Guy on January 10, 2005 04:34 PMWell heck, it's too late now, but when we moved from Arizona to Cincinnati (yeah, I don't know why either) we rented a Penske, since Uhaul was twice as much with 50% of the quality of the vehicle at best. Well, anyway, we had the 25 footer with a car in tow, and my Toyota minivan, packed to the gills, and including 2 cats and s dogs - big ones. Fun, fun fun! At least poor Joel got a call (we're in the Mobile, AL area, too)...our whole family was so excited about seeing SarahK and FrankJ...we even offered to take them to dinner. (Wonder if our teenage sons' intense desire to meet Miss Sarah had anything to do with the decision...not that Frank couldn't handle it, but teenage boys...ahh, that's right, Frank isn't much past being one of those teenage boys...no wonder he didn't want to stop! He remembers all too well!! LOL) #26 - Posted by: DixieDarlin' on January 10, 2005 05:09 PMY'all have a safe trip...maybe this next part of your journey will go better than the first part!! #27 - Posted by: DixieDarlin' on January 10, 2005 05:10 PMI know from first-hand experience that in parts of NC you can be pulled with 8-10 handguns scattered throughout the car, on the dash, on the floorboards, littering the back seats (along with hundreds of rounds of ammo), tell the deputy sheriff who pulled you over with a smile on your face that you were on the way to rob a bank, and STILL not have him so much as put his hand on his weapon. Not the brightest move of my life, but it sure shows the difference between here and there and now and then. #28 - Posted by: Confederate Yankee on January 10, 2005 06:19 PMOh, and Frank J./Sarah K.: I feel your pain. I did a 28-foot moving van from NC to NY in one day towing a car. Not fun. You have my sympathy. #29 - Posted by: Confederate Yankee on January 10, 2005 06:20 PMDamn, Spacemonkey's stalking is hilarious. You guys should have stopped in Mobile! Waaah. I'm here too. #30 - Posted by: Beth on January 10, 2005 07:51 PMHighway Patrolmen think it's hilarious when you tell them to "kiss your wounded ass". #31 - Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 10, 2005 09:06 PMHoly cow, how many of us are in and around Mobile? FrankJ and SarahK - we're going to have to arrange a blogosphere RL-event in our neck of the woods. Evidently, Mobile is Nuke the Moon-Musings country! #32 - Posted by: Rubber(Red)neck on January 11, 2005 01:17 AMI'm "around" Mobile, too... sort of... does 170 or so miles count (Montgomery). Just a tiny detour! #33 - Posted by: jean on January 11, 2005 02:15 AM rape stories Ah, Geez. Here come the spambots. What's next? Having to type in some sort of code to comment?? #36 - Posted by: azlibertarian on January 11, 2005 08:42 PMCrikey, I thought the Preview step was s'posed to take care of this rot. Well, at least until the bots figured out how to get around it, I guess. Sheesh. #38 - Posted by: Tuning Spork on January 12, 2005 12:25 AMPost a comment
