Default EAA UWO Dorm Room (Air Conditioned) For Sale

But the visual image of Montblack sleeping on a too-big airmattress --
which cocked itself at a 45 degree angle -- in the back of the mini-van
will live with us forever!



While you guys were at the IowaCityAlexisParkInnFreeBeerandFoodPoolParty
(with swimming poll cannonballs provided by John O and Jim W for
entertainment) I was helping someone move on Saturday ..."Hot Saturday".

I threw together my stuff at around midnight for the drive over to OSH, not
thinking that a 20" high self-inflating queen air mattress "would not" fit
the 4' x 8' confines of the minivan - what little focus I had left was on
the 8' part of that space.

The freshly retired United pilot and his wife, in their brand spank'n new
mobile home complete with canopy porch and porch furniture, almost wet
themselves when they saw my predicament. g

Next morning I was at Wally-World buying a 20" high "Twin" air mattress.
Ahh, dignity restored.
