Happy solstice, all!
I'm writing this from lovely Brownville, Nebraska, in the very southeast corner of the state -- I can see the bridge over the Missouri River from where I sit. Just closing up a couple of days helping the Bookstore Maven at her satellite office. I'm not sure I was a very good sales surrogate -- three books in two days (though now that I'm ready to close up and hit the road, the shop is suddenly full for the first time).
But I've had a lovely, relaxing two days. I can see why Miz C loves it here. No cell reception, no errands to run ... nothing to do, really. Which suits me just fine after nearly a week of schlepping boxes one place or another.
After work last evening, I walked the little trail behind Brownville's historic homes. Peaceful.
But now I'm ready for civilization again. Stop in Auburn for a Diet Coke, blast some New Pornographers on the drive home, pick up my sis-in-law and finally go see the "Sex in the City" movie. I've heard it's really, really bad, but I don't care. I'm just in it for the fashion porn.

Nice to see you got some well deserved downtime after your box schlepping. I've heard the Sex in the City movie too, but that the shoes are outstanding!
The paradox of southeast Nebraska: No cell phone but wireless internet.
I was born in Auburn, "The Pacemaker City". That's where my dad worked for the phone company.
I'm glad you've had some relaxing days, and that things have worked out for you and your international adventure.
Thanks for posting pictures from Brownville. It looks lovely.
