On the Tombigbee, Dec 01, 2008"
Preliminary report on the vent sealing project
[Dec 4] After this mornings fairly steady drenching rain there appears to be some progress with the leaks. The leak resulting in the stream across the floor shown in the photo here on November 15th seems to be fixed. But the other one under my desk / aft of the shower leaked just a tiny bit. I'll have to reserve final judgement on the one by the door until after a heavier rain or two but the other one obviously needs further attention. Darn these things are elusive!

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.
