Update

The process of getting ready to migrate north for the summer is well and truly underway. When I finish this blog post I will shut down the Mac mini and pack it for the trip. I'll be on I Pad for the next few days, which will be hectic.

We've tried to minimize what we take, leaving duplicates at both houses, but it turns out to be easier said than done. I dread when we have to eventually consolidate everything in one house, which will eventually happen, at a time when we are less able than now. Likely much will simply go to the WY landfill when that sad time arrives.

You'll note I said WY, not NV. As a couple of CA natives, neither of us wants to cope with the long, cold winters at 6300 ft. elevation. So we'll end up coping with the equally long NV summers, which are brutal in their own way. 

Ideally we would have ended up living somewhere along the central CA coast dealing with no brutal weather ever. But CA under current administrations is a paradise lost. Hat tip to John Milton for the felicitous phrase.
