<p><em><strong>“My land is bare of chattering folk; the clouds are low along the ridges, and sweet&#8217;s the air with curly smoke from all my burning bridges.”  Dorothy Parker</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“I owned the world that hour as I rode over it. free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them.” Charles Lindbergh</strong></em></p>
