I got a whole bunch more work in the mail today, recorded interviews from a recent murder, a recent armed robbery and subsequent standoff, and something new -- a cold case from 20 years ago! So I should be busy with that for a month or so.

Tomorrow we move! I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. One of the stumbling blocks is that we have to move ALL the food we ordered and had brought up on the barge. We have a room full of food. At least it's warm today, only minus 12, but we've only got about an hour or so of semi-daylight every day, so it will be a dark move. As we're moving into a single-family house (this is a fiveplex we currently live in) we will have to be more careful about the water and sewage. Permafrost makes underground water pipes impractical, so water is delivered by truck and stored in an inside tank, on the ground floor. Sewage is stored in a tank, usually in the same room, and pumped out by different trucks. We don't notice this in our current house, but I know that places I have worked and visited run out of water regularly with an ordinary-sized tank.
