Love that story Michael...!

I take the topics down (they make good kindling for my woodstove, if they
are recycled.  The posters, I'm rather inclined to leave up.  I once left
the laws and the principles hanging in a community hall in a place that
really needed some open space.  When I cam back nine months later to do
another one, the posters were right where we had left them, presiding over
countless events in the life of that community, seeping a little each time
into the consciousness.
