I have now begun building a traveling commons--an eight-foot round redwood table atop four wheels and a car engine. I, and whoever else ends up joining me, will drive the table around the world. Talking, cooking, writing, sculpting, playing billiards ... the table escapes narrow definition of purpose.It will be a drama in which many people, with all their stories and concerns, thoughts and passions, will be the actors, the landscapes, the backdrops. It will be a community based on what people have auto to give--and there is everything to give. Some may offer food, wine, and a place to park; others, content and inspiration. The traveling commons is the stone in stone soup, the sand in the oyster. It is a magic carpet that flies--not above people, but through and within them. There will be a library, dictionary, typewriters, cameras, easels, and elegant china stored in compartments below deck. We will stop at universities, parks, capitals, housing developments, and sometimes even red lights--the traveling commons transcends class and country. We might stay in a place for weeks, or just a couple seat of minutes. As we gain recognition, and take on the momentum (wobble?) of a pottery wheel, we will sometimes write ahead, inviting artists, writers, and thinkers for a meal and a chat. Over the engine, using the heat of combustion, we will bake bread and make coffee. We may also have a zucchini or two growing in a well in the center of the table.

7460 cotton stripperGrowers of large-acreage cotton will appreciate the increased productivity, capacity, and operator comfort in the new John Deere 7460 Cotton Stripper. Everything from engine horsepower, a new eight-row modular head, airflow, fuel capacity, basket capacity, and dump cycles have been improved to make the 7460 the most productive cotton stripper John Deere has ever built.The eight-row head has double flighting on the cross auger to provide smooth feeding of harvested cotton and to process higher volumes of crop as it enters the stripper. It is also extremely versatile heater and can adjust to most row spacings or configurations. When raising the header, more clearance has been designed into the unit to help prevent damage.
