“I live at campsites during the summer months in my tent and car; I do the same for the winter months, except when it is extremely cold I use the shelters to stay warm, and to socialize.

This show is a result of dealing with time and issues, social goods and ills, private triumphs and failures, public opinions, and mental attitudes and persuasions.
