One if by Land; Three if by Plane

It's done. 70% has a plane ticket. The girls fly out over the 22cd of Sept. and 70% will fly that weekend. On the upside who knew that a girl or boy (but not a cat because they cost more) could get a round trip ticket from Philadelphia to San Jose for a mere $240. San Jose is just 30 minutes from the house (so is San Franciso ~ but San Jose is generally a cheaper flight)


That leaves me and Zig Zag available for a drive. With 70% in Palo Alto we can get new carpet while I am still in the area and get the condo on the market sooner. 70% has spent the last year or so trying to tunnel out of the condo. There is a substantial hole in the carpet by the front door, it is down to the carpet tacks. There is also a little damage by each bed room door. When I am in the room and the door is closed (generally to provide Fang with some privacy) 70% tries desperately to tunnel into the room. Oh, 70%! I have the name of a pet communicator care of a friend of mine (Rabid Squirrel), I am seriously considering calling her before the move. I know some folks think that's a little nutty but if I can find out about the scratching it is money well spent. Of course carpet, paint, boxes and general supplies is also money well spent. We'll see how it goes.
