update

"Well my trip was successful. I acclomplished less than half of my list, and had a blast doing it.
Things on the trip (in roughly cronological order):
The Vintage Radio & Communications Museum of Connecticut (which was closed, so I'll have to go visit again), entering Mass, getting The Cat washed by a bunch of Springfield inner city kids earning money to go to Cape Cod, picking up Ally, butterfly conservatories, caboose homes, abandoned factories, waterfalls, a shop actually called Needful Things, Poet's Seat the tower on the mountain, heat lightning across the valley, outrunning the rain getting back to the car, watching the temperature plummet from the rain, triple lightning strikes surrounding us, tiny diners in vermont with great onlettes, walking to New Hampshire, more waterfalls, art deco archetecture, vine covered churches, dark purple trees, another tower on a hill, highway hauling, color change roommate hair, bullet time explained, muti-hue nailpolishing, snuggles, purrs and completely neglecting to pay attention to the time.
It was a throughly worthwhile day."
