Shines Like Destruction (10)

[gForce]

I'm not really attached to the house. I'm attached to the life I used to have in it. We moved a lot when I was growing up, so I detach from places pretty easily.

New licenses are a b*tch. You have to verify all your education, training, prior state licenses, and then a ton of little things. Which means going to all these places and requesting records to be sent. It's not difficult, but it is tedious. I'm glad I had time to get a lot of it done, but now I have to follow-up and make sure things get sent. I am told in Pennsylvania it takes a couple of months at least.

The west branch of the Penobscot River is very rocky. Lots of twists and turns and a lot of standing waves. Easy to get bumped around and sucked in. There were always spotters in kayaks around the hairy spots. The Kennebec River is more just water. The flow is controlled by dam, and they have a schedule for when they open the floodgates. That is more family friendly and there are stretches where it is fun to jump out of the raft and float and swim. The water both places is COLD, though.

I talk like this is old hat, but I have only gone a few times. But I always had fun.
