January 1, 2008 journal, a clear snow day as America stands in judgment by the political hopefuls. I travel to Jackson Tennessee to deliver my art show to Union University and I am very impressed by their selection of the 7 Days of Creation & my Revelation Now II. Traveling on New Year's Day was both bitter & sweet with Cracker Barrel backed out. By the time I reached Murfreesboro I encountered a white out blizzard and temperature dropped to 29 degrees. I soon ran out of precipitation and travel through Nashville OK. America is what they eat & they do eat so much that is unhealthy on every street corner. Sugarised soda pop is all available and greasy fried potatoes and an abundance of meat. Hopelessness in America starts with the available corporate diet of fast food restaurants. Slowly moving away from Transfats is just a drop in the bucket to the final obesity cure. As I travel along the highways I see the affluence of America as really abstract poverty. It is marvelous how this economy has produced on paper money so much for so little.
