HELPPPPP
Okay, I'm having a combo gear and complete overwhelm-ment of everything
left to do attack.  Broken into parts:
	1. Continental doesn't allow stoves at all, can't find out about Airtran
or Midway yet--how do people get to Springer by plane without buying new
stoves in Atlanta?
	2. Still figuring out packweight problems.  My Dana is 6.3, my tent is
3.3.  I could see if Dana will trade for a lighter pack (1-2 lb dif.) and
consider a bivy and tarp instead (maybe 1 lb dif.).  What is the consensus
about nomads?  The bugnetting feature sounds good, or I could just sew
netting on a tarp--who has done that?
	3.  this no one can help me with:  MY APARTMENT IS A MESS, I can't find
bills that I know need to go out this week, where in the world am I going
to store all these damn boxes of books!!!!  Wish I could telescope all of
this mess into a very small sack and just start walking today (wish my cats
could hike).  

	I just ordered chocolate from Burdicks for myself (with gift card), it
should come tomorrow afternoon and cheer me up immensely.
	For those who might need to know--Burdicks is this incredible chocolate
"artisans" shop up in Walpole NH (I have no affiliation with, normally
wouldn't even mention anything in NH, but this chocolate defies all social
and political boundaries).  They handmake everything, and if you order for
hot chocolate at the shop, they ask Milk or Dark and make it in an espresso
machine.  Hmm, I feel better already.  Almost.

	So how do people get stoves across state lines?

			any answer most appreciated, EJ
