country eye past
The cultural influences in our country are like the floo floo bird. I am referring to the peculiar and especial bird who always flew backward. To keep the wind out of its eyes? No. Just because it didn't give a darn where it was going, but just had to see where it had been.

Why, I just shake the buildings out of my sleeves.

The human race built most nobly when limitations were greatest.

I attend the greatest of all Churches. I put a capital N on Nature, and call it my Church.

We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.
