Baling in America (and Hollywood?)

What’s it like to go from pitching straw bales in Wisconsin to pitching scripts in Hollywood? How does an L.A. entertainment attorney take his parrot for walks? Why are people who supposedly don’t read, buying books? Why did the twine snap? What would my mother think of what I said in that meeting? What’s Louis L’Amour got to do with it? Is that really the best use of a snow plow? And what is veracity, and can it heal us?

All these questions and more are answered in a new essay by Mike currently available online thanks to the great folks at Panoptica in their “Stories of America” section. Click here to read the illustrated piece: https://www.panoptica.ai/baling-in-america/
