Ah, the Great Sheeple Migration has begun. This weekend is the kick off to the summer migration of down staters to the North. Many a family loads up their conveyances with assorted gear, tacks on a trailer or two with a portable house and/or water conveyance, and heads up the Great Road. Alas, I will not be joining them this time around.
I comfort myself in the sure knowledge that I will not be ensnarled in traffic for endless hours, or rubbing elbows at the assorted Watering Holes and/or Bait Shops along the way. I am hankering to set up the tent and enjoy the Great Northland, but not yet, soon though, soon.
Usually this means watching old war movies on TCM or cable in general, but not this time. This weekend is relaxing time watching the Trek Marathon on Syfy. I am currently keeping an eye on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Of course, I saw it when it was in theatres, opening weekend in fact, and I have watched it a zillion times since, but still, its Trek.
It is Sunday, which means laundry day. Yesterday I broke the twenty day straight working record and had the day off, whoo hoo! I may make it through today too. Which means... Trek and laundry and basic hanging out and enjoying my time off.
So enough prattling on, I leave you this from ST:IV.
I want to go camping. I haven't in years, and I'm ready.

I used to love to travel. Maybe one day it'll be possible again, though hopefully not in a way that would cause me to act like a tourist. The last thing I want to bring with me on any trip is a sense of entitlement! ;)

We're having a very warm Winter. The great Winnebago migration has begun though.
