It's still raining but forward progress is being made

The leaks still leak but the wind dropped during the day and my gas mileage picked up a little.

With a little luck I'll see some sun tomorrow. Yippeee!

Interesting signage at the Wal-Mart here in Poplar Bluff. One sign says no truck parking. The other says No parking or loitering outside business hours. The catch is the store is open 24 hours and yes I can park here overnight (I asked). Clever. I recall one other Wal-Mart, though not which one, with a similar ambiguous wording that had the effect of reducing RV overnights without actually prohibiting them. Must be a response to some community issue.

Silence

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
