Travelling through middle America is a lot less bleak than it's usually made out to be. The small towns blow by under the old mercury vapor street lights, cobblestone main streets, neon motels, and a slower life is always as appealing as it is quiet. On this particular trip, the heartland is more than a place; It is the electoral connective tissue between the Democrats and the Republicans. A hopscotch of Red-State-Blue-State where life goes on as usual. The sheep sleep safely in the yard and the church keeps a light on its cross long after the town has faded away with the sunset.
