LOCATION

"But Job lived in big-farm country, where many men lost a finger to a sickle on a mower or to a spinning auger by the age of thirty-five. They wore baseball caps, given to them by farm-implement or bull-semen salesmen, with promotional slogans like Western Breeders or Snap-On Tools, or simply Case. Men were not pretty in Godsfinger, Alberta."

    oh wild, this remind me of a farm visit with a girlfriend. everyone was yelling and running across this huge land of wheat or corn, something. when they all came back to the house, a neighbor had lost his finger on one of the farm apparatus.

    "Men were not pretty" - looks like many of us found that little snippet interestingly descriptive! Terrific Theme Thursday quote.
