The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, by Bill Bryson




Re-read. Bath. Lovely, nostalgic, funny, sad, good. Bryson is a favorite of mine- of many people's, obviously, and this is good Bryson.


And, with the book below, makes yesterday probably the only day I will ever read two books that go into pretty serious details about the life-size sculpture of a cow made of butter that is one of the main attractions, apparently, of the Iowa State Fair. 2 books. One day. Butter Cow. Yeah.

Below, the first pic that comes up in a GIS for Butter Cow. Apparently there is also a Butter Farmer, but no one writes about Butter Farmer. Butter Cow, however, is a star.
