wait... are we back in Davis?

It seems like on any given drizzly morning in Davis one could step out as we did on Saturday to find a bike race going down the street.

Last week was all about getting basics set up (a bank account, residency established, at least one functioning cell phone, school registration, etc.).  This week there are more bureaucratic undertakings but most importantly, a house search.  We have a little less than two weeks to find something in a market that's naturally tight but made worse by a larger than normal incoming college freshman class.  Last year they switched from 13 to 12 years of schooling so that the high schools graduated two classes at once and now they're coming to college.

I'll be off looking at two places today and hope to find something quickly.  Can't wait for some degree of regularity.

There'll be a post soon with pictures of our walk in the woods and maybe even a first-day-of-school post if I can get Merlin to stop watching Spongebob Schwammkopf for a little.  She's living her tv-deprived childhood dream!
