The piece cautions against seeking praise and notes a mishap at the grand champion 4-H steer event, with Brook over Feed Yard earning a welcome happy ending in Finney County Fair.
A reflective piece opens with the waning days of summer and the return to school and schedules. It travels briefly through small town scenes in South Dakota and Michigan, noting a jail sign “Heart Break Hotel,” shoppers in Houghton during Outlay Day and Crazy Days, and Ontario highway signs urging proper trash disposal with Space Age Orbit receptacles along the road.
