Hours on the road are necessary to get anywhere. At one time, there were passenger trains and publically supported long distance buses, but now everyone drives them selves, and hauls their grain, etc. Young fellows who have done well in the oil patch buy themselves large impressive trucks. Other features of this resource-based economy such as oil derricks and diamonds figure in the embroidery. This noisy, bright chair is my kinetic reaction to all of this!
