Garrison Keillor’s Keen Observation
I was late to appreciating the way Garrison Keillor wove words together drawing attention to the obvious, absurd, and common. He no longer does the radio show, but writes a newspaper column that is syndicated. I’m one of those that reads several papers, digital format, each day. I ran across this in our local paper this week. A paragraph and a link.

That’s the great America I grew up in. It’s still here. Click here to read the column.
