I spent a lot of my youth working outside in the elements, and I kind of revel in defeating tough weather.
When I was a kid, I lived in this small town way out in the country. We had three TV channels and one radio station. I couldn't even get my hands on good comic books.

They were such incredible treasures to have in my somewhat mundane country life.

The characters and the fellowship of the small town reminded me of my own small town in Illinois.Then I discovered that, much like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, that all of Berry's fiction was centered in this same town.
I would like Americans to make things with their hands. Thomas Jefferson and I feel that makes for a much stronger nation.
