Guess who has two thumbs and the an OOO message?
And now, packing. I have so many last minute errands to run - I'll probably reply to some emails that some of you sent earlier this week from the airport. Sorry, work is still at 110% for some reason.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Shir, could you add your flight numbers to your profile? I'd like to follow along with a flight tracker.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sure, just added them.

Oh, my, that is an extremely early morning departure.
Bon voyage!

Oh yes, I'm gonna be up for many, many, many, too many hours.
And thanks!

I'm so glad you are making this trip, Shir. And quite looking forward to hugging you when you make it to SF.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm so glad you're going to make it, Shir! Safe travels!
Does anybody have a site they recommend to get a realistic idea of what a used car is worth? I'm finally willing to entertain the idea of selling my old Ranger. I still get random strangers approaching me to ask about it occasionally, so I'm trying to get a realistic picture of its worth. But I've now gotten a range of nearly $2500 (Kelley Blue Book) through $1000 (Carmax) down to $400 (!!!) (Carvana). Anybody know who actually has the skinny?

How about www.edmunds.com ?
The last time I was playing around there, IIRC it gave me a price for "private sale" and a price for "trade-in."
eta: FWIW, I just tried my car details at edmunds.com and their private sale number was pretty close to the offer they relayed from Carmax.
