A week ago, I turned up my radio to hear IPR over my old Saturn’s various chatterings and began my commute from Mason City.

Just moments after I left the city limits, a white wing raised up and cut through the grey. I turned to see a pair of trumpeter swans and their little cygnets making their way towards the water’s edge.
