Foscue Creek Park, Demopolis AL, December 15, 2007
7:30 am: Good morning from site 42 at Foscue Creek Park.
Since there was nobody camping at any of the sites right on the river I walked out and sat on the bank of the river. And to my good fortune a barge soon appeared 'round the bend up near Demopolis, headed downstream with a load of coal. I'll post a picture soon.
Night camp

Visual Thinkers
When I talk to other people I translate my pictures into stock phrases or sentences I have "on tape" inside my head. Those kids who called me Tape Recorder were right about me. They were mean, but they were right. I am a tape recorder. That's how I'm able to talk. The reason I don't sound like a tape recorder anymore is that I have so many stock phrases and sentences I can move around into new combinations. All my public speaking has been a huge help. When I got criticisms saying I always give the same speech, I started moving my slides around. That moved my phrases around too.
