Were I you, and in consideration of the costs of packing over and above
the costs of shipping, I would entertain the idea of begging, borrowing,
or renting a station wagon and driving up there to pick it up in person.
Portland is not that distant a drive, the roads are good and the scenery
delightful.

Two years ago, no problem. Even my wife would have been game for it.
But now with two 18 month old toddlers, abandoning my wife for a weekend
or strapping the two kiddies in a car seat for 16 hours isn't an option.
Perhaps I should just wait a bit for a couple more quakes to bring the
two cities closer together.
