“I remember once in a dining car, the steward had all the shades pulled down, and we were going across Kansas or Oklahoma, someplace along there. And I pulled up the shade—I was almost the only person in the car—and the fellow came by again and pulled the shade down. He said, ‘There’s nothing to see out there, son.’ I was outraged. But I think so many people feel that way about this part of the country—that it isn’t worth looking at.”
Said David Plowden, who took this picture. Amen.
