Following is the result of a stimulated imagination. It is my idea for the design of the US Marshal's Museum building that is going to have its home here in Fort Smith, AR. This excursion of creativity was inspired by the photos in the City Wire article,

Have you ever made the observation that whenever you or someone else decides to rearrange the existing order of something, even if the order is more of an existing disorder, and then proceeds to do so, there will instantly be an increased level of disorder?

Have you ever been a front, or for that matter, back seat passenger in a vehicle when the driver was driving a great deal faster than you were accustomed to going while riding in a car? The turns were way too quick, the stops were last minute and the acceleration just well...seemed to accelerate. And all the while your every muscle was taunt as a piano string as you had at least one foot about to push a hole through the floorboard where you were practically standing on the imaginary brake in an attempt to slow the vehicle down.

Ever wonder what a carpenter is pondering while carefully sanding a piece of woodwork. Well, this will give you an idea of what this particular carpenter ponders during such a process.
By way of this blog, I want to share one of my numerous Monteisms with the members of The City Wire.

SHARING AN IDEA #2
In order for an idea to grow it MUST be shared.
Okay, I want to make it clear that I am not the originator of this idea. My wife, Joy, gets credit for that. However, the instant she set it out onto the table, I immediately began contributing to it and for at least a couple of hours or so we had ourselves a grand ole creative time fleshing this vision out.

Okay. I finally found it! I did have it buried. As promised, following is the article regarding the Chattanooga TN River Park that I spoke of in the comments of the Go Fact Yourself blog written by Michael Tilley.
The link I had for the article has evidently expired or whatever links do when you don't use them anymore. But,that being said, here it is anyway. Maybe it will work for you.

What if you were to personify Fort Smith...what would that be? If the city of Fort Smith were a person, or an animal or a song, what would it be?

Tomorrow evening, the 27th, the Home Show will begin. This year the theme is GREEN. This is a smart move. Building GREEN and renovating GREEN (Greenovating) is not a fad, it's a veritable trend. If you are planning on attending the home show it would be a good idea to know how to discern between genuine green and "greenwash." I am certainly no expert on either building green or renovating green but, over the past few months I have been doing quite a bit of reading and discussing in the area and it is obvious that the term 'green' is being thrown around with wild abandon.

The Three Categories of Players in the Game of Life
I am now going to address three basic categories of players in the game of life. These three categories form a triangle (you will notice that there are many triangular relationships that surface in this game). One of the points of this triangle is senior to the other two. See which one you believe it to be.
Each category has many, many degrees within it including multitudes of subcategories. This includes degrees of good and evil or, at least, what is considered to be good or evil.
