    Personal note; something I think you'd enjoy....
    This morning, hunting for a suitable quote to use at that "Ozark Writers Live!" gig I'm doing on September 8th, I stumbled over a quote that won't work at all for September 8th but that I have a feeling you'd enjoy reading. It's identified only as "a paragraph from the Saturday Review for June 5, 1971," and it says...


    "Remember the story about the San Francisco hippie who put a dime in a parking meter and lay down for an hour's sleep in the little plot of land he had just rented from the city? Imagine the result in Manhattan if 1,000 anti-freeway partisans arrived one morning at 7:30 with folding chairs and 'rented' all the available parking space on several major streets for two hours."
