With Artie’s month of no communication with Tiger in it’s final day, Artie decided it was time for his travels to come to an end. So he stopped in with some family he hadn’t seen in a long time. It was great to see them again and for the first time in a month Artie felt somewhat settled. And now if Tiger tried to get in touch with him he would be easier to find.

Plus Artie’s pretty sure his travels made a big enough impression.

Artie isn’t very interested in spending too much time in the mid-west so he’s just trying to make the most of it while he’s there.

Today you can call him Archie.

Artie’s travels were in full swing until he ran into a little problem. Actually it wasn’t that little.

But not even the mighty Mississippi can stop Artie.

Artie did a lot of travelling today and when he final decided to stop he met a nice couple that thought they could help him find Tiger.

They said they knew exactly where Tiger was.

Apparently there was slight miscommunication. They meant well.

Today Artie visited his favorite place just in case Tiger might be looking for him.

Hey, you never know.

Artie’s first stop on his road trip was in a place that he remembered Tiger saying was one of her favorites. She said this was because her family always used to vacation there. He figured maybe this was where she went to get some thinking done.

He then realized that her family probably did not visit in the middle of November.

Brrrr.

Unfortunately, the car rental place did not offer stuffed sheep coverage so we had now spent all our money… but Artie was determined to continue his search for Tiger. And I did have one thing that I thought could help him get around. So, this morning, Artie set off.

Good luck Artie. Keep us posted.

Artie came to a big decision today. He decided to leave New York. He knows he’ won’t find Tiger here. So he wants to go off to search for her elsewhere. I told him as long as he kept me updated I would help him out.

So, we rented him a car…

…which was a mistake…

…I guess we’ll have to find a new way for Artie’s adventure to continue.

(Don’t worry, Artie is fine. he just thought it would look cool to pose on the hood. Be thankful I talked him out of using ketchup.)

I think Artie is starting to get tired of New York. He’s been dropping some hints. For instance, today hanging on the wall next to this poster…

… I found this poster…

…Artie’s not known for his subtlety. And who taught him to photo-shop?

OK so maybe Artie isn’t quite done with his large scale efforts…
