Right, so that last post? I just got notification that someone picked up the Travel Bug in order to TAKE TO FLORIDA.
That is not the right direction. That is the exact opposite direction. You can't really get much further away from Seattle and stay in the Lower 48. I have to say, GISH1982, you aren't really following directions well. Posing with a giant bronze Humpty Dumpty won't make up for it. I'm a TEEN librarian, nursery rhymes won't work on me.
Just you watch, it will finally get out of the, er, warmness of Florida and slowly work it's way NW before getting stuck in Kansas for another year. Not to be pessimistic or anything.
All of this said, if someone were to pick the thing up and take it to another country, I'd be cool with it.
I think I need to do another experiment, sending one to my brother in Virginia and see what happens.
UPDATE: Yep. There it is. In Florida. Sigh.

Kansas is like the Bermuda Triangle
or something.
A year and a half ago my mom released a Travel Bug into the wild (Swimming Upstream). It's goal was Spokane, where I was living at the time. I've since changed that goal to Seattle, where I live now, but I somehow doubt that it matters 'CAUSE IT CAN'T SEEM TO FREAKIN' GET PAST FREAKIN' KANSAS. Please, any readers in Kansas, will you please, please, please move the little fishy along? North and West, please.

If you aren't a Geocacher* and none of this makes sense to you AND you are actually curious read here, or if you are the lazier sort, wait for Justina Chen Headley's upcoming book NORTH OF BEAUTIFUL
, out in February. It's touching, wonderful, and full of all sorts of geocaching awesomeness. But I might be a little biased as I'm in the FREAKIN' ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS! Holy Rusted Metal, Batman! I didn't do anything to deserve it, I swear! My mother is nevertheless quite proud.
I promise I'll talk about more books soon.
*I've been Geocaching for probably 5 years, but I never log any of my finds, so please don't judge me by my profile. But feel free to friend me if you are a fellow cacher!
