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.

Others Choose the Path of Healing
The labor camp in Erfurt and, after the war, the refugee camp in Mainz were all I knew when I came here [from Germany] in 1947 at the age of seven. Like many camp survivors, it was not the experience itself that dogged me as much as the why of it. The why seems clearer every day: those who see themselves as victims, nations included, have license to commit these things. Others choose the path of healing.
