Nuclear Thoughts

My mental filter is on hiatus since yesterday when an employee was kind enough to ignore my directions (yay for parking lot detail in the middle of a snow storm) and make me chase him a lot over to repeat what I said to him two more times.

(For the record he is just all kinds of fail)

But while I spouting my opinions last night it occurred to me briefly that what the people over at a blog called Broken Luggage did is not that bad of an idea. (However if I sell my house when I come back home I'd be homeless...fail planning.) But I really admire someone that committed to doing something. Imagine what it takes to just pick up and move not only to the other side of the world but to a culture that is so unlike our own. Yeah we're all human but everything I've read and seen pretty much equates life in NZ with life in Europe (England and Germany are the two most common examples) and these people up and left from somewhere in Texas (most definitely not England). The jokes about people hunting me down to return me to loving New England aside the idea of leaving everything and everyone I know for an indefinite period of time is frightening. But if you have say a solid return date I don't see the problem of a longer stay.

:)

But whether I invest in a WHV (Working holiday visa) or not the question remains...

Should I or should I not attempt to hike the Worcester/Providence bike path.

(Ok a walk that long seems really interesting in my head but in print looks all kinds of gay. Dangit!)

There are so many 2-6 mile options for hiking paths within a 45 minute drive of my house and I already have a few out west and two in Connecticut planned but the idea of such a walk just gets me all excited. After all when I was younger (and pretty much debt free) I used to always say I wanted to hike at least a part of the Appalachian Trail (and camp in Glacier National Park, and this list could go on for quite a bit). However there is that 10 mile trail in Sutton. So many options so little time but at least I have weekends free now!

Wow, tomorrow is already Friday. Super 14 begins at 130am. Oh how I love time zone differences. Go Go Hurricanes!

{Why the Hurricanes? They were 3rd last year in S-14 among the 4 NZ teams so not the underdog but certainly not the golden kids either. Just the way I like my sports teams.)
