   Just use a big suitcase, and then you can always add a few more ;)

   "The house" is nearby where you  live now?

   It's still too humid here - 78 F and 45% RH, much better but I like it much   
   drier than that.

   I haven't rode once this year...I guess I don't relish the idea of risking   
   my life on a bike to the same Idiots I've been putting up with when I drive   
   a cab.
