discouraging words

Driving across Kansas I asked myself, “Where did everybody go?” I saw people in other cars, and there were people at the filling stations, but along the road I did not see anyone. I conclude that when the first people arrived, drawn by the naturally occurring interstate highways, they decided that this would be a good place to put Black Angus cattle. To keep the cattle comfortable they erected enormous fans on giant towers on the hilltops. When these fans are going there is a pleasant breeze, but when they stop the air becomes stagnant and the heat is stifling.
