the dr. pepper building water tower some
4:22
round bales in the back of a truck and
4:26
the blinking red light

classic at one point it was a bottling

5:42
you can always count on a post office
5:42

5:45
almost always
5:54
plenty of open countryside out here just
5:54
goes on and on and on and on and on and
5:58
on
6:22
probably gusty out here on the plains

9:06
what you're hearing are the remnants the
9:06
last moments of the noon whistle it
9:10
startled me thinking it was a tornado
9:11
warning I check my clock and noticed
9:16
just nude it was very loud this is just
9:19
the tail end of it the theater still
9:23
stands
9:59
up that little traffic here dedicated to
9:59
the pioneer families who homesteaded
10:01
ranched and brought commerce to this
10:05
region this windmill garden has been
10:11
placed here and there are a heck of a
10:16
lot
10:59
to the man that invented windmills my
10:59
hat is off to you without the lonely
11:02
windmill the West we could not subdue
11:05

11:12
place it calls its home
