And the park has a winter rate of $4.00 per night. This sounds like a good alternative to Wal-Mart parking lots for a few days. So I stock up on food and head out.
No cell phone reception at Payne Lake Campground
Darn; it's a nice quiet campground, nice lake, but I get no cell phone reception. Without cell reception I felt I didn't want to stay and headed on westward on AL 25. So here I am at one of dear old Wally's parking lots again.
This Wal-Mart Supercenter is green
Now here's a first for me. Of all the Wal-Marts I've visited to date, this is the first one done up in green and beige instead of the usual blue and beige. Is this a reflection of the "green" image Wal-Mart has been promoting lately?

That Ideas Should Freely Spread
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
