major move

We left Oregon City on Wednesday, November 18th in a 10-foot U-Haul truck towing our Civic on a dolly. After somewhat more than 1900 miles of driving spread out over 5 days, plus a day to relax in Monticello, UT, we arrived in Midland, TX on the evening of Monday, November 23. The dogs don't know what to think.

We drove through Roswell, NM on the last driving day. It was basically pretty boring. The only alien-related things we saw were: a billboard for the "International UFO Museum", an alien figure on the front of the Wal-Mart store, a flying saucer on the Community Credit Union sign, and one other cartoonish alien figure on the sign of one other business. Granted, we passed through on the US-285 and US-380, and didn't see a whole lot of Roswell. Still, I kind of expected more. It's close enough for us to make a weekend trip there to look for touristy alien novelties.

I have applied for admission to University of Texas, Permian Basin in Odessa, just about 25 miles from where we are living. Terri and I decided it was time for me to use my GI Bill eligibility. If all goes well, I should have a BS in Computer Science in 2 or 2 1/2 years, since I've already got a BS in Math behind me.
