More moving stuff..

So I have the form mostly filled out to sign us up for electricity (that will be helpful), DirecTV is scheduled to come install a dish, and all the utilities here in Houston are scheduled to be shut down. One small problem is that we don't have our mailing address yet.What's that, you say? How can we know our physical address but not our mailing address? I'll tell you.
Steamboat is awesome, no doubt. But it's also a strange little town with strange little ways. Apparently, the post office in SBS hasn't quite nailed down the home delivery bit yet, so many folks just have a PO Box and pick up their mail there. Otherwise, they have "cluster boxes" where residents in a subdivision, say, go to pick up their mail in a cluster of mailboxes at a central location. This is what we will have. The problem is, apparently these cluster boxes are addressed differently than our actual address... Maybe. See, I'm not sure, and the landlord is waiting to hear from the post office about it. So it's proving difficult to fill out any forms for, say, billing purposes, because I don't know what our mailing address is. Big sigh.
Oh, and once again, we'll be going 100% renewable energy for our electricity service. Hence the picture of the windmill at the top of this post.
And another thing: Dana and I realized at lunch today that our countdown (look up to your right), may be a bit misleading. It is accurate in the sense that we are arriving in SBS on the 30th (at least, we plan to arrive then). However, we're actually leaving Houston on the 27th (subtract three), and our stuff is actually being picked up on the 24th or 23rd (we're hoping for the 24th - subtract another three). That means we have six fewer days to finish packing than identified by that number. So it may not be misleading to YOU, but it sure is to US. And we're out of town this weekend, so it appears we only have one weekend remaining in which to pack. Yikes. Good thing we got started early!

How do you get "100% renewable energy" for your electricity service? That is something I would def be interested in.

Checking out your netflix list and I can see you are my kinda guy - Battlestar Galactica rocks!
If you need anything when you get to town email me.
And you're right about the post office - I had a bit of a rant about that while back http://1800blackhole.blogspot.com/2005/10/going-postal.html
