Rapture & Packing

Well today there has been so much hype about the impending rapture. What is crazy is it's a very small religious group who started it but as unusual those who "yell" the loudest are heard the most so this rapture has been all over the news the past few days. According to this group the rapture was suppose to start at 6pm (timezone unknown). It would start with all the righteous being instantly taken to heaven and then the earthquakes would start and those left behind would suffer until October when the final apocalypse would happen.
Well everyone had a field day with this, so many jokes on twitter and facebook. No one was taking these people serious, well almost no one. There was a news report that someone tried to kill his pets before the rapture. He of course was one of the righteous and he didn't want his pets left on Earth to suffer so he took them to the vet and asked the vet to euthanize them. Of course the vet said no so this guy decided he would do it himself... luckily the vet called the police and they stopped the guy from doing it. But it did get me wondering how many other people did that, or killed themselves or family members. I still think that someone should sue that 'crazy' pastor at least for false advertisement. With the right judge you might even get him for breach of contract.

After Kenny had left for Christopher's birthday party I went out into the garage to start going through some boxes that I had pulled out some days ago. I was making quite good progress. One of the more surprising things was that I found an internal hard drive in one of my boxes. I don't have the slightest idea where it came from or what's on it, and I haven't owned a desktop computer, where it could have come from, in over 10 years. Luckily we do own a hard drive shell and it will be quite interesting to figure out what's the deal with the 'mystery' hard drive. Turns out that there is quite some stuff that no longer serves any purpose and can be tossed. I couldn't toss that stuff, since the trash dumpster was completely full. So I just put the stuff that can be tossed into one of the empty boxes and will throw it out once the dumpster is empty again. I figured I might as well use the box, that Daisy's Travel Crate came in, to put my personal stuff in that will be relocated. For now that doesn't include small appliances and kitchen stuff. But that box will give me an better indication how much stuff needs to be shipped. I intend to get next week several more detailed quotes to have the stuff shipped to Europe. Not sure yet if I can get that quote over the phone or if an representative of the shipping company has to 'inspect' the stuff in order to get a detailed shipping quote. Will keep you guys posted on that.
