They're almost in the same state, right?

gryphonseggIt was blessedly cool this morning, and it rained this afternoon! That's exciting for me, after so many very hot, dry days. Not as exciting as the fact that I have LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE I MOVE, though. I think I've managed to sell or give away pretty much everything I can convince somebody to take.
Speaking of moving, I've been checking maps to plan my route, and I made the minor error of discussing that with my mother. She seems to believe that everything in the Great Lakes region is in or at least very close to Chicago and that I can't get to Ohio without driving through Chicago. I don't think she really has a feel for the distances involved. I understand her concerns about me driving alone in very big cities, but this time she really doesn't need to worry about that since I will not, in fact, have to drive in any of them. I'm not going through Chicago or even its suburbs. I might possibly pass through the very edges of the suburbs of Cleveland at most. I have no reason to drive through those cities. I have not yet convinced my mother of this.
