I can't think about Wichita without recalling the fright train I rode through on the way to Montana trying to make it for Christmas in Missoula. Sitting on cold steel over the tracks all night was a bit chilly but, on that stop, an old inspector (maybe a WW2 vet) pointed me to a heated caboose. That act of (illegal) kindness felt like five-star accommodations for which I'm still grateful.
Wichita also recalls: As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls is an album by Pat Metheny and jazz pianist Lyle Mays recorded in September 1980.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how do you cut down to the ground, do all to weaken the nations!
Oh boy, someone else about to grill me about not writing a memoir. Such things aren't easy. Even in the little note above I should have just said "veteran" or "Korean War vet"
(like my father). Details matter; they keep one up at night.
There’s a lot I don’t know about you Micah! I hope you’ll share and fill in the gaps!
That makes two of us! ;) Fascinating to hear more about your story too.

Freight train! Interesting, Will. Were you traveling in the military, or did you have an itinerant period in your life?

It's your fault you have an interesting story. And yes, 'spill the tea', as they say.
