I have not read the books by Thom but have now put them on my newly created BTR list.abecedarian said:I had to look Lyndon up on the map, and squint to see it..it's a tiny spot out in thr Flint Hills NE of Emporia, south of Tokeka...besides flashfloods, tornados and the occassional stray head of cattle, what could possibly have scared you out there??
Back to books- have you read any by James Alexander Thom? The Red Heart, Children of the First Man, and Follow the River are all excellent. He has some others,but I can't remember their titles at the moment. I'm still fighting jealousy over your screened porch...be sure to fix a nice glass of iced tea to go with that book and porch!
There is am old Iron Bridge, the type with a top to it, on the road in Lyndon. I was leaving town and came up to the bridge when I seen the sky suddenly become dark. A truck hauling boxes of bees (for the farmers to pollinate their fields) had the boxes stacked higher on the open bed truck than the top of the bridge, the boxes hit the bridge, were smashed and were strewn all over the road. I had my window down in the car, immediately put it up and wove my way thru the mess on the highway. Bees were so thick that you could hardly see.
