Suburban Zendom

I have entered the realm of suburban-ness. Yesterday we packed up our worldly goods (or two semi-skilled laborers did) and today they hauled them to storage where they will sit for the next 9 days. So technically, as of today we are Suburbanites. I say that with confidence because before 10:00AM this morning 5 people attempted to start conversations with me. Attempted, because still being a gruff city dweller, I see anyone trying to talk to me as either 1) wanting a favor or 2) trying to steal something from my person. Then, feeling more comfortable, Helena and I blew bubbles for 30 minutes and I never had to look over my shoulder to see if there was imminent danger. I can put my antenna down for a bit up here. It will be nice.
