Wide Open Spaces


Quote of the day:
“Say, you haven’t stopped talking since you got here. You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.”
--Groucho Marx, to Margaret DuMont

It’s a simple thing, but it always amazes me.

When you leave the city and travel almost anywhere in the heart of the west, you find yourself in wide open spaces, with little obvious evidence of human beings for miles in every direction.

I’ve lived in urban areas my whole life, except for four years in a small college town. So I’m not accustomed to this. Hence my amazement at seeing nothing but natural landscape surrounding me.

I wonder if anyone does get accustomed to this?
