From TIME DON'T WAIT by Marty Stuart

A thousand angels dropped matches
That lit up the desert sky
Well, a pillar of fire from East to West
Came slowly drifting by
A voice from the clouds like thunder
Said start lookin' for a ride
Said where yesterday meets tomorrow
Will get you to the other side

Cause, time don't wait on nobody
Time don't wait on nobody
Time don't wait on nobody
It just keeps movin' on
Time don't wait on nobody
Time don't wait on nobody
Time don't wait on nobody
It just keeps movin' on
And on ... and on ... and on

Years ago the Tuscaloosa News had a "That's why I love T-town." They solicited readers to submit their reasons for loving Tuscaloosa in something like 50 words or less. The newspaper promised to publish the best ones. I sent in this one and they published it along with the others: Standing on an old street corner laid out in 1821 with tall Druid oaks all around. That's why I love T-town. Sitting on a sandy bank with my feet in the river watching the sun go down. That's why I love T-town.

Maps are a form of magic. They are like the great illusionists who can make
things appear and disappear on command; this is the selectivity of map making. They
represent reality not as it truly is, but as the map user wishes it to be. Maps are smooth
and calculating; they take us from one point to another and can display data by different
methods to convince us that the illusion is true. And we accept this truth because ―maps
do not lie.‖ They make the past present while making the present the future. The
mystery of the map entices us as evidential proof that a place exists and we are drawn to
it by curiosity and fascination. This magic is inherent, in one way or the other, in all
maps but, perhaps, most easily experienced through the nineteenth-century American
bird‘s eye maps.

 Like all great magicians, maps must know their audiences. The bird‘s eye maps
communicated a sense of place to those who lived in a specific town or city, but they also
spoke to past, present and future generations of those who lived there. Just as portraits
captured the essence of the person being painted, the bird‘s eye maps created a ―portrait‖
of small town America. They were valued as fine art to be hung in the homes and offices
of the town‘s inhabitants. They were treasured documents that recorded both the physical
achievements of town building, and the pioneering spirit that made these achievements
possible. They were meant to be handed down to future generations as reminders of the
accomplishments of their ancestors. Over time the function of the maps changed and the
bird‘s eye maps were well on their way to becoming commercial marketing tools by the
end of the century. Once artistic renditions of civic pride, used to attract immigrants to
unsettled territories, the later maps became advertising tools for attracting customers to
local businesses.

 Bird‘s eye view artists sometimes capitalized on the public‘s fascination
with this cutting-edge technology by falsely intimating that their views were constructed
using balloons or later, aircraft. In twentieth-century views, ―Airplanes and a dirigible
circling the city were included in the trademark of the aero view to give the impression
that some of the information was derived from aerial reconnaissance, which, of course,
was not true‖ (LOC, Geography and Map Division).

 Smart tourism destinations (STDs) are constructed on cutting-edge technology infrastructure, providing technological solutions to boost tourism competitiveness through processes that improve the tourism experience [1]. The smart tour guide system (STGS), one of the up-to-date smart tourism technologies (STTs), is more and more widely used in STDs. STGS delivers intelligent self-service to tourists via a network control system comprised of physical equipment and a central database in the background, with the major display techniques being voice, video, photos, text, and so on
