What Patrushka Saw: The Birdseed Capital
Looking at Andreea's pics just now reminded me of all the images from The Pondering Pig and Patrushka's travels across America this summer in their little gypsy cart.
Here is the little world of Flagler, lost and forgotten on the plains of eastern Colorado. Except for the local bird seed farmers, of course, to whom it is found and remembered every day.

this looks a lot like Three Hills, Alberta, Canada where I live...
Very cool pics of a totally flat place. I love the steel against the blue sky.
Hah, Spoke, that was just what I was going to say.
When Willa Cather describes the prairies, I feel like she is describing MY prairies.
Hey, I thought the Bloggers of the North lived in Genericville! Why didn't you say you lived in Three Hills? Everybody we met in Flagler was talking about your town and how it looked just like the Birdseed Capital. I didn't believe them of course...until now.
Hey Paula (wasn't that a song?) we miss you on your blog. The Great Ranter is ranting again - now how about some more laughs and sorrow from your punk youth?
Genericville is what we suffer, actually,its the Stuff I Notice around here.
I just wrote a new memory. This one isn't funny, just to warn you.
