Solidified my plains identity in a way I can’t fully explain

mjwiegand.bsky.social @mjwiegand.bsky.social · 7h

I once drove 3 hours out my way to go to McMurtry’s book store in Archer City since he is the greatest plains writer. (Although on a personal level the Duane Moore and Danny Deck books did more for me that Capts Call and McCrae)

That’s what I figured as it’s the only park in town I knew off, but sometimes there’s surprises

I don't remember if we were hammer down on corn like we this fall during the prior trade war. Feels like that's at least a bit of a silver lining
