Homeless, unemployed and in Mississippi

Sounds pretty bleak, eh? It's not as bad as it sounds.

We've turned in our keys to the Bluffton house, but we won't start looking for a place in the Coachella Valley until we get there.

My last day at the Packet was yesterday, and I don't start my new job for another two weeks.

And after a solid 10-hour day of driving, we're at the WiFi-enabled Super 8 in Moss Point, MS. (Mississippi: The One State South Carolina Consistently Outranks.)

Now since Debz told everyone I'd blog the trip, I feel obliged to spout off some crap about our first day of driving.

First off, when you fire up your iPod, and "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" is first out of the chute, you've laid a solid foundation for a good road trip.

The Florida panhandle is very long and not terribly interesting. And the few interesting points were not good interesting. Picture an Interstate gas station filled with Confederate flags, bumper stickers and shot glasses. Yeah, that kind of interesting.

Mobile, Alabama, might be cool, but it was dark by the time we got there, and all I know is that there's a tunnel, a long bridge and a battleship in the bay.

And the cats hate me. Fortunately, a little food in the bowl, and I'm back on their good side.

Unfortunately, the Super 8 cable system does not carry Comedy Central. So I suppose it's off to bed. We might even sleep in since we only have to get to Houston tomorrow.
