today my beloved 80-200mm begins the long journey to its new home in Sweden. i dressed it up in bubbles this afternoon and dropped it off at FedEx where it’ll make its way to the buyer’s friend in North Carolina who will then bring it overseas with him in April. then i imagine they’ll go to a sauna and engage in hand-to-hand combat because God knows there’s nothing else to do up there besides detoxify and fight to the death.
