I can imagine how The Straight Story would be less than fulfilling on a small screen. I saw it in the theater, and loved it. But then, I grew up in Iowa, and respond to arial views of the fall cornfields of northern Iowa. I liked the characters and story, too. The bicyclists were a great Iowa moment, coming upon Alvin Straight like a horde of benevolent locusts. By the way, if any of you living in Fairfield have yet to canoe the Upper Iowa river, I highly recommend it. Go this spring, when the water is highest. The drive there is beautiful -- real Grand Wood country. (Note: the Upper Iowa river flows through northeast Iowa, as opposed to the Iowa river, which flows from central Iowa through Iowa City.) ------------------------ Yahoo!
