I'm heading south
It's always been my traveling style to head off in a general direction and let the winds carry me along wherever my whims blow. Today my whims are blowing south. More or less down along the western flank of the Appalachian mountains. The Graphical Forecasts at Weather.gov lead me to think the prevailing weather is about the same as I would see following the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys I had planned on following. We'll see.

Float Your Ideals
You have to float your ideals a little off the ground, to keep them from being profaned. And cut loose the misfortunes and insults, too, lest they take root and strangle your soul.
