A group of intrepid Loveless Motel habitués have taken it upon themselves to begin to create an outdoor sculpture garden of sorts in an area cordoned off for the purpose at Nutbush Campground. President's Day Weekend's weather was brisk but cooperative as the time was chosen to start on a project with that patriotic theme in mind. Asked if they might be taking on a bit much, one of the amateur chiselers explained that while the process certainly seemed daunting, one only had to remember the first principle of sculpting. The object being used to bore into a medium to be sculpted must be harder than the medium itself. Two of the other men who agreed offered to demonstrate this boring technique of hard tools drilling into pliant mounds on the spot, even though they were some distance away from their destination, and without usual sculptor's chiseling tools. But in the end we were all grateful for their eye-opening efforts and eventually all took turns practicing on each other, all the while trying hard not to think about the old playground joke about trying to fuck a bull with a wet noodle.
