Flat tire
it seems to be all about Grain here ... 25 miles from a town in either direction, I had a flat tire ... isolated by the expansive nothingness of the prairie ... interrupted only by the sound of the wind ... perfect spot to work ... I didn't have a new tube left, so I had to patch the old one ... also had to patch the tire ... the road and the debris can be rough ... every 15 minutes or so I would stop what I was doing, grab my camera and take a picture of a passing freight train ... each time as I waved, the engineer in the cab would wave back and give me two loud toots ... I guess that is the standard greeting ...
