This is where we place tidbits from our past life as land
dwellers. Most of the items here are no longer ours, but continue
to feel a vague attachment to them. Just like the knicks and knacks
you arent't quite ready to throw away, so you squirrel them into
dark and musty corners in the garage to wait. And wait they do,
until one day you cast a glance in their direction and find yourself
wondering why you've kept that rusty piece of iron, or ramshackle
office chair, or pile of Scientific American magazines lying around
for so long. And they they're gone; tossed into the recycling bin
or the garbage, and finally out of your life.
Well, all of these things are physically gone from our lives now,
but they're still part of a very near memory of life ashore, and
so they will sit in our virtual garage for a little while longer
until we're ready for them to truly go away.
