Tale of the Mysterious Beep

Last night we packed up a bunch of stuff and went over to new new house to basically camp out. There's a fridge there now and we have mattresses in three bedrooms, which is a good minimum requirement; we got food and a couple of bundles of fireplace wood so artan_eter could set things on fire and headed over.

artan_eter and teinedreugan had already (using artan_eter's father's truck) moved a couple of loads to the new place with the assistance of paladin_of_gaia. whispercricket and I followed when there were sufficient clean diapers to survive an overnight.

KJ thought the whole thing was fantastic, did a lot of rampaging around, studied the fire ("Nice fire!" and also "Too hot!"), and refused to go to bed because it was all too exciting. While these dramas played out, we became aware of, in the distance:

Beep.
