The moving van will be arriving today about 1:00 pm, some 18 hours earlier than the originally estimated time.

I am looking forward to having places to sit and to put things. The hundreds of boxes? Not so much.

The van is about 70 feet long and 9 feet wide. We have done our best to let all the near neighbors know what’s coming and to ask them not to park on the street for a while. Minnesota doesn’t do police details for traffic obstructions such as ours, so anyone driving down our street this afternoon and tomorrow morning will just have to get by the best they can.
