A note about overnighting here
Wal-Mart has posted signs in their parking lot here prohibiting overnight parking after 24 hours. Clever - this lot is not designed to cope with many big rigs and this signage seems to discourage them quite well - I'm the only one here for the night, other than a Wal-Mart delivery truck.
This is the first restricted parking I have come across so far regarding overnight parking in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I've read that there are many such restricted lots but I guess I've been lucky so far and have not come across one until now. I put on more miles today than I hoped to and I'm sure glad I could stay the night.

Something Useful Can Be Artful
A life, I believe - lived well and openly - with a certain sort of careful attention to form and function - creates art - or, at the very least, inspires it. I believe that art is contained in the ordinary events, that the small things we see and hear and learn everyday provide opportunities to explore parts of ourselves or our society in a way that can actually produce art. Whether it is a story you leave behind or one you take with you, I believe that any given situation is rich with opportunities to participate in the creation of something useful that can also be artful.
