I remember it about the way Wade remembers it, as the punch line of a
joke that starts out, "Hi there, Mr. Farmer! How do you get to
Fairfield?"
The farmer starts off in pleased certainty, listing one road with its
twists, turns, old stumps for markers - and then remembers that the
bridge over the river washed out this spring. He tries again, using
another road, then after several seconds recalls the mountain pass had a
rockslide, again making the road impassable.
This happens several times, until at last in sad puzzlement the farmer
concludes "Well, I guess you can't get there from here after all."
Cheers!
