I noticed that the actual strip is to be peeled off & can attach to anything, not the usual strip of plain plastic that the "do not cross" strips usually are made of -- so that one can leave a do not cross mark on anywhere by fixing the strip onto it -- The usual plastic strip is more temporary in feeling.

Every one uses it these days to warn people from entering a place for any reason- there's one down by the hole in the roots system that holds up our little local bridge across a stream so you don't get a foot caught & fall in -- the police can pull the strip out on any road & stop traffic for searches -- i don't usually see the strip around a dead person because i don't see dead people, though that would be a way to count bodies in war torn areas of the world, usually I think of such bodies being circumscribed by a white line of chalk, either presumes the existence of material, plastic, paper, or chalk. I'm placing the strip in my mind around my footsteps, they are dead & are in search of wildness.

The lines on ones faces could be a youth culture warning- so strip around those lines on faces -- lines around lines too -- the old Rail lines closed for lack of money to run the trains -- some are being revived as freight rail some as walking trails, all are not designed well -- Permaculture can be used by communities to design better for the Rail lines' future & deserve a do not cross strip around the most promising places to be "Permed" till empowerment is taken by the people & shows them they do not have to leave the design to the governing bodies of industrialized thinking --

I am going to use my yellow strip up on the Ligne du Nord at Mt Tremblant, Quebec in August, invited to do an installation/performance in the Festival d'art contemporain des Laurentides -- La Ligne du Nord. Will tall you more about this piece later --
