Two days before we depart for Moab and points south eventually taking us to Port Aransas, TX on the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the gear is in a clump on the basement floor at the cabin. It helps to lay an eye on the circumference of the stuff and guess if it's all going to fit in the outfit. Everyone who needs to know and a few who don't are aware of our travel plans.  At this point it might be one of the great winter tragedies in Lincoln if for some crazy reason our plans had to change.  Psychologists might label this event vicarious letdown syndrome.  It's good to think like a psychologist from time to time even if you aren't one. It usually produces a humorous view of mankind.
