Cleaning out the dead van resulted in so many CDs and cassettes that the last week has involved plugging away to sort them. Some go to new car for Hardi, some stay in "my" car for long road trips (incl .cda audiobooks), some go to Ohio where there's no live TV (just DVD), so the boombox that plays MP3 discs as well as cassettes is going to Ohio to augment ear entertainment there.

I'm considering doing AirBnB in Ohio a few times during the longer Fall visit. (A good friend is having fabulously happy times hosting people thru that program, and has let me know everything I need to know ahead of time.) There should be a lot of road cyclists wanting to be on the area's very long bike path, and I know how to feed 'em cuz I live with one. I already have the perfect sign to use as my ad-- a dog riding a bicycle-- cuz they can bring a dog as well. A bed we had planned to take there anyway will cushy up the available room, and I have a half-bath I can use to give the guest first dibs at the loo. The place is ready and so am I.
