The pages of books that deal with nostalgia and the vanishing vistas of America's past are infiltrated by the appreciative presence of two hulks from today, who go their own ways through the by-ways and highways of an illustrated yesteryear.
A friend stops by for a chat and we wind up inside the pages of a picture book celebrating the American artist, Eric Sloane. From that printed location we wander about in our own worlds spouting the streams of consciousness that such painted panoramas inspire. A tribute to the skies of America and the oddballs who ogle it.
