Happy Thanksgiving. You people make me sick!!
I'm stuck in Springfield, IL working (not working hard though!). We did a potluck, and I'm stuffed. I've got 19 more days and I head home for Christmas! Can't wait to get out of here - but, Springfield is not as bad as Chicago - it's kind of depressing, the downtown is like a small "big" city and it's super easy to get around w/ very light traffic. I looked up the real estate here and it's ridiculously cheap (compared to Florida). There are two homes over $1mil in the Springfield area. Dozens of homes under $200k, many under $100k (I'm not sure how safe some of those neighborhoods are, but they're nice Victorian and/or craftsman style houses that need renovation). We haven't gotten a migrant bus for about three weeks, until last night (a bus of 52 showed up from Texas). I'm just trying to milk this gig for a few more weeks....
