The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines.

It was cold out there, bitter, biting, cutting, piercing, hyperborean, marmoreal cold, and there were all these Minnesotans running around outdoors, happy as lambs in the spring.

The sparrows are preparing for winter, each one dressed in a plain brown coat and singing a cheerful song.

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.

It does no harm just once in a while to acknowledge that the whole country isn't in flames, that there are people in the country besides politicians, entertainers, and criminals.

I would like to explore some side roads in life while I am still in good health and good spirits.

To read the papers and to listen to the news... one would think the country is in terrible trouble. You do not get that impression when you travel the back roads and the small towns do care about their country and wish it well.

An incredible wealth of human kindness.

This is a place where you can hear fall coming for miles.

Sometimes I would think myself happy never to leave. Every trip must end.
