    "God only knows what is to happen. I see nothing impossible in that supposition. And I see things wonderfully contrived sometimes to make us happy. Where could they find such objects as in America for the exercise of their enchanting art? Especially the lady, who paints landscapes so inimirably. She wants only subjects worthy of immortality to render her pencil immortal. " --Thomas Jefferson, A Dialogue Between The Head and The Heart

    MOVING-DAY TIPS

    Today this blog helped some relatives unload their moving truck here in New Bern, N.C. after the family drove 820 miles from Watertown, N.Y. Consequently, this blog is an expert on moving. Here are some tips for the novice and seasoned movers alike:

    -Six weeks before moving day, fill one small box with books, seal it tightly and write "books" on top in permanent marker. Then do nothing more until the day before your move.

    -Get a jump on things by cancelling electricity and water service several weeks before you move.

    -To avoid breakage, glass items should be melted down, then re-blown after moving into your new home

    -Boxes are an unnecessary expense. Place all possessions in the truck and fill it to the top with packing peanuts.

    -If using friends or relatives to help move, show your gratitude by buying them a pizza. Don't mention that hiring professional movers would have cost about 300 times as much as a pizza.

    -Instead of writing "fragile" on boxes, place a copy of rock band Yes' "Fragile" on top.

    -For the love of God, don't ever move.
