I thought I could move by sending things ahead by UPS and like that, but it just looks less and less feasible all the time. And it's a lot to ask of a friend to drive some 2,138 miles (according to Yahoo Maps) just to schlep a crone and the things she does not want to leave behind. I've been a pack rat married to a pack rat who (the rat!) committed suicide and left me holding the pack. Some 30 years of it. He did his best, and we did winnow it down some over the years as we moved, but you would be amazed at what we moved.
I'm willing to do the work of separating the diamonds from the debris, but there are diamonds (well, OK; semi-precious stones; but metaphorically, you know?) in that slush pile. So what do I do with them? Unlike literal diamonds, which are precious as much because they are so compactly rare and precious and portable, this stuff is gonna need a truck.
