And we complain if we have to wait too long in a fast-food line while ordering! As the lead proofread on this book (Hills of Nevermore) I can testify that it's a very accurate rendition of the Old West and an enthralling story. Loved your article!

I've never been there. Road trips are fun but they can be overwhelming with the tiredness of sleeping in different places and all. God bless.
