Not all Wine and Roses

We made a quick trip to Illinois for financial appointments and what we thought was the last load of our stuff.  Realizing early on that this would indeed not be the last trip to move, we were in very poor moods which would escalate.  Plus each of us would drive a vehicle separately so all the cars and the pick up would finally be in Wisconsin.  Here are the main points - too long to write out.
  • left too late in the day
  • rush hour traffic
  • cell went dead
  • charger in other car
  • one of the cars got a broken alternator or something - it won't go - is the bottom line
  • find a uhaul place that is open
  • Tad near Milwaukee talks us through the streets of Madison 
  • Madison has too many traffic circles.
  • tow dolly home a busted car
  • Ashley Furniture semi knocked out 100 yards of guard rail and ended up in a ditch at a Dells exit
  • that's what we saw after standing in traffic for 30 minutes
  • more hubbub farther down the road
  • ran over dead deer 
  • enough guts left that we had to wash the pick up, tow dolly, and busted car when we got home at 1 am
