Dump to dump to dump to dump to dump
Phew, I made it! To West Virginia, where the rest areas along I64 and I79 have dump stations. I'm not desperate yet but I'll need to find a dump station soon and it will be much more convenient to dump at a rest area than to digress from my travels to hunt one up. I don't remember the exact sequence but at the first 4 rest areas I stopped at the dump stations were either non-existent, closed, or located where I found myself irretrievably in the wrong lane before I spotted them. This morning I finally got it all figured out and dumped at the rest area on I79 just north of Clarksburg WV, my last chance.
Now to find a laundromat.....

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.
