Ok, let's get this show on the road

It's been an interesting summer and a warm fall in Red Rock but winter looms ahead and it's time to get this ol' RV to a warmer spot on the globe.

The plan was to get my affairs in order and start my fall migration earlier this year. A mid October departure seemed about right. November starts to get a bit chilly in Red Rock and I thought I might skip a bit of that nonsense this year. And I would have but things didn't go quite to plan and, well, here it is mid November again. Ah well, off we go...

Guess I'll wander southward until the spirit sends me west. I have no specific goals in mind for this winter much beyond spending time in New Mexico messing with my photography and leatherworking interests that got rather neglected this summer.

Wal-Mart Supercenter in Sayre PA

Walmart Store #2208, 1887 Elmira St, Sayre, PA 18840 - (570) 888-9791

Please note that the entrance access to this Walmart is tight - I wouldn't recommend entering with anything much larger than a Class C.

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.
