Got Kind Of Tired Of Packing And Unpacking ...

I've never lived 'town to town'.  Except for my humble beginnings and early days and a couple years in SE Asia and SoCal, I've lived all my life in SF.  However, when I worked for the NPS I did move around a lot, just about lived out of a locker and car trunk.  I did duty at two sites, with four offices and had four lockers. I kept clean uniforms, boots, socks, civilian clothes, foul weather gear, flashlight, gym stuff, shoes, books, paperwork, soap, sunblock, foot powder, moisturizer, toothpaste, medicine and first aid kits in my car and locker. I had boxes of food, water, juice, soda, utensils and stuff and a cooler to keep things cold and fresh, so I had a lot of bags.  Be Prepared, like a Boy Scout.

I never had a desk, phone or computer of my own like everybody else, and could never leave anything lying around, so I locked it up all every night before I left so it would still be there when I returned.  In the Marine Corps I learned to pack a bag, foot locker or any kind of space so I could find everything in the dark, and I never grew out of that.  It didn't matter where I was, day or night, I always knew where everything was. But after a while I 'got kinda tired of packing and unpacking'.

Not gonna belabor the point but there is that emotional baggage we carry around, gets really tiring.  I saw a cartoon drawing once, it had a boat pulling in to a place called 'Resentment Harbor', unloading baggage onto a growing pile on the dock. Clever, easier said than done, box it up, label it WKRP and send it Fed Ex Express.  WKRP is where you wind up, you drop your bags and stay there.  All the characters on the show finally found a place to just be.

Wait a minute, hold on, what's that ?  Damn, been months since I tried to do an update, and as soon as I start typing on the computer I get a visual migraine. Going blind for a while, be back in a bit, no worries, usually not painful, leaves me as good or bad as I ever was.  OK, I'm back, just a small one, undersize, had to throw it back, maybe my powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men took care of it, or that trick I learned from Werner Erhard when I took EST way back in 1971.
