John Farrier's Comments

My first job as a teenager was rounding up shopping carts and cleaning toilets at a Walmart. I informally studied the patterns of where people put away shopping carts, which was not always the designated return points. I called these undesignated areas "natural corrals" because formed organically as a multitude of people decided the optimal locations for shopping carts.

Thanks! Probably not. My recent on-campus bookmobile efforts have taught me the importance of being able to get through classroom doors. So now I just haul conventional bookcarts around from classroom to classroom.
But you're right that I should revisit the idea and maybe find a vehicular structure more mobile than a bookcart.
Congratulations to your daughter on her bookstore. Is it a new or used bookstore?

Before the pandemic, I was kicking around the idea of applying for a grant to create a trike-based bookmobile for on-campus use. It would be a bit more practical than a horse, but only because I have paved pathways everywhere.

When I was interning as a hospital chaplain, I watched a woman die. I found it notable that, unlike in the movies, the heart monitor doesn't flatline. Rather, the heart rate slowly fades away as the electrical impulses in the heart dissipate.
Also: the body visibly shrinks and turns grey very quickly.
