Goodbyes Are Hard to Do

Today we said goodbye to Indiana and Purdue. . . David was a little sad as were his friends. We managed to pack his storage shed and apartment stuff into a 5 by 8 U-haul trailer. We did have to leave the legless chair and his TV. The cost to ship the TV would have been more than the cost of buying a new one. We threw one desk into the dumpster outside the apartment, and then after packing, went to the Stewart Center to copy some stuff David needed to send to Oakland in the hopes of prequalifying for an apartment (you know, the one we will attempt to rent on a three-day holiday weekend). Anyway, we had parked on the street near the apartment and did our business, and as we returned to the car, we saw a pickup truck (complete with rebel flag) pulling out of David's former alley and hauling the desk parts. It drove to a house a few doors down the street.. We were happy to see the desk would live again. . .
