safe journey, Hachikō – update: she arrived!

A message from Hachikō:

Hello Chip. Hello TOD friends. I haven’t been around much lately because I’ve been busy packing up to move back to NY. I’ll be leaving Orlando early Sunday morning. The past year has been tough. I’ve finally run out of savings and can no longer afford to live here with no job and the measly unemployment insurance FL gives its residents. So, I’m heading back up north where I have friends and family – a safety net – and can stay with someone until I’m back on my feet.

I’ll be driving a 26′ U-haul truck with my car hitched to it. I’ve never driven anything bigger than an SUV before, so I’ll need all your prayers and good vibes.

Wish me luck!
