Frankly, this jaded internet junky found this video a bit inspiring. It's ten minutes long, so your intertube will be sucked dry for a while, but the views are worth it. I didn't even mind some sermonizing at the end.
I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

Oh, yeah! The passenger is one of the guys from "Top Gear", James May, and there was a one-hour special on this flight a while back.
Very interesting!
I thought that guy looked familiar, but I don't watch Top Gear very often...
Here's the write-up on the program from the Beeb.
