After things in St Paul fell apart, I was planning to go live in South Dakota, an hour or so from this. Is it art or vandalism?

Instead, I went to New Mexico in this (1955 Ford) and lived in it until I got a 1946 Beck (no photo) which I traded for the promise of a drum about a year later (still no drum). After that I lived in a sort of canvas quonset thing until I left New Mexico.
