Got all our boxen from Amtrak yesterday, still pretty exhausted.

My GERD-related esophagus disorder is doing me a big concern, and I'm a bit worried it's because of the new climate. It's MUGGY AS FUCK here, and sinus pressure makes everything from my neck up 100% worse.

Ran out of mobile hotspot data on Peg's phone, and we're throttled to near-uselessness. Gonna be doing most of my communication from this here cute little cafe ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/monkey-monkey-coffee-and-tea-new-orleans ). They are currently playing "Lonesome Cowboy Bill" by the Velvet Underground. This makes me quite happy. They are our kind of people.

Neighbors are really nice so far. Predominantly black, and while that's a bit of a cultural adjustment after the goddamn chilly white Vikingland I just escaped (no offense) and a childhood amid shitty Ohio racial politics... I'm really glad that adjustment's happening. My main concern is accidentally doing something really dumb and whitebread to annoy them, because they've been absurdly nice to us so far (especially 5 Cats Lady).
