Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.

Thanks, micro.

I'm already feeling pain in places I didn't know existed. I had a blister the size of my thumbnail sticking sideways off of a toe. My fingers are swollen and the right hand won't close beyond a "C". I was badly chafed on the first day in my underarm and crotch - so every step hurt. My back is killing me. And, yes, every muscle and joint aches. Friday night, we worked until 4 a.m. Easter Sunday, we worked until 5:30 a.m. Monday. We got less than three hours sleep after each of those nights, making the 550 mile drive that much longer.

Here's what 591 boxes, plus a freezer, furniture, a 6 foot birdcage, twelve shelf units, a 27 foot expansion ladder, a lawnmower (dismantled and boxed), two bicycles, a unicycle, a clay "Kamado pot" (the world's best BBQ), long-handled garden tools and other things too numerous to mention look like when crammed floor to ceiling into a 26 foot U-haul. My wife and I now consider ourselves to be experts at the game of Tetris.
