These things have not been here
the whole time, and they have
not been the best of the best, and
they have not been the sticks of the butter.
She asked me to send a photograph
of me, stroking a stick of butter, and
I had to tell the girl that it wasn't
really what she was after, and she
really did not want me to send her
a photograph
of me stroking a stick of butter.
What she really wanted was a video
of me making a duck bill with my hand
and sticking my duck bill hand into
a bowl of butter, sticks of butter
are not the answer!
Places that I think about.
I might not see them again,
but places that I've been to,
that I might not see again, that
I think about. Gallup, New Mexico,
Somerville, Tennessee, and
La Vergne, Tennessee.
and while some people wish upon a
star, it's totally possible that I would
have to wish upon a stick of butter
and tell people that the butter, that
praying to a stick of butter, that
wishing upon a stick of butter is
not the solution to the
it's not the solution to whatever issue
you are having.

I bought a carton of eggnog and drank it all. I'm kind of just hanging out in my car and I'm probably going to go back in and get something else. There's nothing to do at home, but I'm not bored to the point that I really want to go prowl the streets. I think that I've taken care of most of the stuff, the preliminary stuff related to relocating, I have to change my addresses in my accounts first, then once I have statements, then I can go to the Nevada DMV to request a Nevada Driver's License, and then I can request Nevada Vehicle Registration.
When I think about it, I wonder what it would have been like to stay in Gallup, New Mexico, if I would have started a life out there. It wouldn't have been clear to me what I would have done for work, or if there really was any work out there for me to do. I'm still so unsure about this whole thing about being back in Nevada.

I ended up buying a new nail clipper when I went to the grocery store. There was one thing that was interesting when I went to the grocery store: there were large sections of the store that had locked cabinets. Even though the neighborhood I lived in when I was living in Arlington, TX was a neighborhood that I would think of as being, like a destitute neighborhood, I just didn't see as many things locked up in cabinets.
I changed the title series from "Postcards from Tennessee" to "Butter is not the Answer" and even though the title doesn't really follow conventional capitalization rules, I really don't want to capitalize "is not" and so I won't be capitalizing those words. There also might be an issue with this title change as well, but I'll worry about that later.
I updated my address on most things that I use regularly, but what else do I need to update my address on? I think that I've done it on most things. I returned my apartment key to the land lady. I closed my utilities contract with the energy provider. I mailed my mailbox key back to the Post Office.
