LD parked at Foscue Creek Park, Dec 12, 2007
I'm looking forward to Foscue
Yesterday's decision to head south for a while before I head to New Mexico is agreeing with me. I'm looking forward to spending time at Foscue Creek Park again. Looking through my photos from last year reminded me how much I enjoyed my stay there last year.
Kentucky has by far the cheapest gas I've encountered so far
Now there's something I thought I'd never see again. Cheap gas. Today I headed west on Kentucky's Blue Grass Parkway and then took US 31E and US 231 south as far as Shelbyville TN. That took me through Kentucky's cheap gas country where I paid $1.789. Twice. Kentucky must be raising revenue by some means other than through gasoline taxation.

Wal-Mart parking lot in Shelbyville TN
- I'm writing this bullet point from memory and I'm drawing a blank on this location. I can't remember if this is a good Wal-Mart for boondocking or not.
Give it, Give it All, Give it Now
One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
