Everything
Turns into writing a name for a day
Someone
is having a birthday and someone is getting
married and someone is telling a joke

The Calais Branch Rail Corridor Rehabilitation and Multi-Use Trail Project Construction of the Down East Sunrise Trail is an interagency effort that will rehabilitate and preserve 85 miles of rail corridor for future rail use as well as provide a wide, compact gravel base, multi-use trail for snowmobilers, ATV-ers, pedestrians, bicyclists, cross country skiers, equestrians and many other outdoor enthusiasts.
As of September 4th, 2009, 30 miles are now open for use from Machias, East to Ayers Junction. The construction phase is now complete. Enjoy the trail and please remember it is multi-use; motorized users must yield to non-motorized and please demonstrate courtesy and ethics to all trail users as well as abutting landowners.

zuihitsu
November 11th, 2009
a genre of Japanese literature consisting of loosely connected personal essays and fragmented ideas that typically respond to the author’s surroundings. The name is derived from two Kanjis meaning “to follow” and “brush”, and thus works of the genre should be considered not as traditionally planned literary pieces but rather as casual or random jottings down of thought by their authors. (wikipedia, zuihitsu)
Example: Hōjōki, An Account of My Hut
Also, The Pillow Book, Sei Shonagon, Makura no soshi
Study: Formless in Form: Kenko, Tsurezuregusa and the Rhetoric of Japanese Fragmentary Prose, by Linda Chance
