wheeling and dealing

am in the process of negotiating the purchase of a small travel trailer to set up out at the river.

nothing grand, 20 feet long or so, with simple features. so if all goes well there will be a cozy shelter (the outhouse doesn't count)under the big oak on south park dr. next summer.

i long to spend overnites out there, out of the 'big city' and out of touch. which is why i'm happy that it's a cell phone dead zone. maybe that's what we should name the place: "dieck's dead zone". no. doesn't sound right. sounds like a bar. or a funeral home.

since we bought the land we've been trying on different names, with the intention of eventually putting up a sign at the road. nothing's quite clicked yet but we'll know the right one when it comes along. maybe this: "oleo acres: the low-priced spread". no. people nowadays don't even know what oleo is...wouldn't get it.
