Of these, number that will be spent driving to Maine, moving everything out of old house, and coming back: 4.

--bibliographic information on guides to the archives of the Thurgau, Konstanz, and Freiburg, and of private collections in the region.
--German words for "cell phone family plan"
--ideal number of people to consume one Downside Watson.
