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.

Tools for Communicating
There is no one who can know everything anymore, because there is simply too much information for one lifetime. In the gaps, our tools grow (I choose the organic term carefully), and they allow people to unite and divide movements, to undermine leaders, to elect the unwilling to roles of leadership into which they might grow. No single person can dominate in this world for very long these days, because our tools for communicating link us like ants and we can move the world while undemocratic leaders try to hold it still. People peck the man on the big horse to death like hungry ducks if he leads them down the wrong path or takes too many liberties on the journey.
