Everyone says they want to meet someone who's into new experiences. Adventure. I've spent a lot of time on Craigslist lately. When I'm not looking at the personals, I spend a lot of time on the "Free" section, and I've been thinking.
There's a lot of stuff in the free section that floats. If we both quit our jobs, max out our credit cards and sell our furniture, I think we could pick up enough buoyant material for from Craigslist to support our weight, plus a small shelter, the fixtures to lash everything together, and a shallow layer of topsoil, with enough time and money left over to outfit our floating island with basic supplies within a couple of weeks.
I haven't done all the calculations about speed, but I'm fairly certain we can outrun the freezing whether floating unpropelled down the Mississippi. If we dock the island at night, and spend a little time checking Craigslist on the way south, I think we could increase the size of the island enough to support a small army by the time we reach East St. Louis.
By Christmas, we'll be the unquestioned sovereigns of an island nation floating out into the Gulf of Mexico, free from the shackles of the dreary lives we left behind.

Or else there's a new Thai place I heard about.
I'm Dan, by the way. I'm probably free this Friday.
