[Shotimes] OT where are all those campers going?

[Mike Wojton]

Ya do what ya gotta do.  My family (wife and 2 kids) and I, plus the cat and
the hamster, lived in a hotel room for about 7 weeks while we waited for our
house to be finished here in PA.  Granted the room was a suite with a
kitchen, but after about two weeks we started to get on each others nerves.
There was no place to go to get away from anybody.  I started looking
forward to going to work.  I can't imagine living in a camper though.  One
of us would have not emerged alive.  ; )
