Hastings Air Force Station, Abandoned 1968, Hastings NE, May 7, 2011
Gotcha!
At the filling station this morning, I punched the button for the lowest grade, started pumping, then noticed the price was $0.15 higher than advertised. Grumbling I quite the fill-up. It seems the Lowest price is for the mid-grade. By a lot. That's deceptive I concluded. Later I continued my fill-up at a station of another brand in another town, Hastings NE, and surprise surprise the same pricing scheme holds. What gives?
DLD State Recreation Area
What a neat find. A tiny little recreation area with a few nice level spots to camp. And unused and unmaintained at that. My kind of place. Much quieter than one of Wally's parking lots and the same price at that - $0.00.
And the dandelions are fresh! Yum.

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.
