Full Moon Rising, December 12, 2008, Twiltley Branch Campground, Collinsville MS
Tomorrow I'm heading out. My stay here has been really pleasant and I'll miss being on the water. I'd stay longer but the holidays are getting close and I need to find someone to do the front end alignment I've been putting off and putting off before everyone gets distracted with holiday cheer. LD's front tires are not happy campers. I need to get this attended to before I put on many more miles.

From Knowledge to Wisdom
Wisdom is a product of a process. This process begins with information, proceeds through knowledge, and through what a less gifted poet, Edgar Guest, called "a heap of living," ends in wisdom.
... Wisdom, when it comes, usually arrives late in life. I've known some people who were wise in their early thirties and others who died old without a clue. Most philosophers were of the mind that a person should be at least forty years of age to have enough learning experiences. Now it seems that it is much too young. The step from knowledge to wisdom is the longest one in a person's life.
