Another passport stamp and a new pile

Because my visa to be in Algeria is expiring I have to leave in order to get a new one My destination is Tunis and I am setting off tonight (8/14).

I don't know exactly how long this will take; that's up to Algerian authorities in Tunis, but I'm bringing a full suitcase.

What this means is that I now have possessions scattered in three states in the U.S., Bosnia, Algeria and now Tunis. This makes me crazy for some reason. All my life -- it's a Libra thing -- I have saved and hoarded things which have accumulated in big piles I need periodically to go through and organize or trash lest I am overwhelmed.

Now, however, it seems my piles have gone global.

I have just read your recent blog entry where you said that all your life you have saved and hoarded things -- that it's a Libra thing.

For some reason, that awakened in my memory when you were about two years old -- you had a little doll carriage. Other little girls would put their dolls in the carriage and wheel them about -- but your carriage was piled high with everything you possessed.

One day, while you were napping, I decided to go through it -- and found even the bacon I had fried that morning and thought that you had eaten.
