The wind outside was coming out of the west at a sustained rate of 30mph, with gusts around 45mph. With the air filled with powdery snow it was difficult to look into the wind even with something covering the eyes. I’ve felt this before!

It is snowing today. To walk around in the silence after it snows in a large city is one of the few things I look forward to each year. The snow seems to act like a large muffler that deafens the already quiet evening air. With the snow deadening the noise of all of the road vehicles tires it is much more peaceful.

It is rather strange that much of the United States already consumed by the sprawl of urbanization yet it seems that many believe there is nothing left to do than to rebuild stuff we already have. As it appears this has already happened in the past yet the process is repeating once more. This time the pattern of rebuilding is following a less personal path. With chain restaurants stores and mini malls making each little section of the country harder to tell apart from each other it is very likely that in another generation or two we will be seeing another rebuild take place.

With the majority of 2007 in the past the look toward 2008 has begun. The coming year of work and academics for the world will likely go by largely uneventfully. Anticipation of events like the United States 2008 Presidential Election and Burning Man 2008 follow my education as interesting events that will be coming up next year. The new year should bring new changes to my art and new focus and interest devoted to different areas of my perception. Hopefully the year will turn out to be at least as interesting as previous years.

On a road that I have traveled quite a few times at this point in my life I find miles and miles of farms. It really is interesting that one could travel for hours via a multitude of vehicle and still find only farms outside of the window. There is not much else that is of any interest on a road trip throughout the middle of the country. Sometimes you could find yourself being interested in the contents of passing cars. Sometimes you can find something interesting at one of the many rest stops. The things people fill their cars with; dogs, cats and weeks worth of garbage are common.
