Live in Quebec? If you did, you would know that moving day is the end of June. All the apartment leases come due and everyone hits the road to their new place. Why that date? Who knows, but trying to rent a truck to move or hiring a moving company at this time is very tough. How tough, you ask? Maybe it's better just to load up the old car and head to your next home. How hard can that be?
Yes, it's a given that one has to be creative, but with a little rope, a couple of bungee cords and lots of imagination, you could do it. Not having a back bumper, like the car above helps in tying things down.
Got the whole family and all the relatives to move? To show how to do this efficiently, we have to cross the ocean or oceans, to those lands where their citizens know the economy of scale. They know how to pack both belongings and all of the relatives and make the move in one single, simple trip.
A happier group would be hard to find. We should take a lesson from these industrious souls.
Understand of course, that a move of this scale might just wreak havoc on the the underpinnings of your fine automobile. Creatively has its disadvantages.
But think for a moment, that if these folks can pack for moving like this, how smart would they be in piling goods on a transport truck? No doubt they would be exceptional and by doing so, would probably be able to decrease the huge number of trucks on our streets and highways. How great would that be?
Of course, with loads like this, there are often disadvantages, if one hasn't packed things exactly right........
But done correctly, an efficiently loaded vehicle can be a real benefit to our crowded cities. Even the numbers of bike couriers could be reduced substantially, all it takes is imagination........
Now back to our friends in Quebec..........
Make moving day fun. Get all your friends and family involved. Make a day of it and enjoy the experience. Take lots of pictures for those unbelievers from the other provinces.
And remember, a family that moves together __________ (fill in the blank).
Until next time.........
