You’ve all seen the famous “Titanic” scene where the star-crossed lovers are on the bow of the boat, arms outstretched, and Jack’s character yells, “I’m the king of the world!” The movie writers must have been inspired by a farm kid. That’s my theory anyway.

Why do I say that?

Because they probably caught an 8-year-old farm girl on top of a grain bin like this, arms outstretched, hair blowing in the wind, feeling like she was on top of the world. It’s not THAT high off the ground, but when you’re only 4 ½ feet tall, it seems like half-way to the sky.

I was that girl. I used to spend hours up there, and as I drove by these bins on my way home the other day, I thought, “Just another ag structure that dots the countryside that city folk don’t get the opportunity to enjoy”.

Until we walk again …
