The hills roll along as you are driving and the waves of undulating grasses, sometimes green, but mostly yellow bend to the mad will of the wind.  All of a sudden, a megalith appears on the horizon, then disappears, and reappears again.&#13;This is still the place where the buffalo roam, but now there is more.
