Miles from Nowhere: Tales from America's Contemporary Frontier"In this splendid book a gifted observer and a terrific idea have come together in a real love match. In 1990, a century after the census bureau's famous observation of the frontier's imminent end, Dayton Duncan set out in an aging GMC Suburban to visit a large sampling of counties outside Alaska that have fewer than two persons per square mile the bureau's old standard for places still in a frontier condition. There are 132 such counties. All are in
"In this splendid book a gifted observer and a terrific idea have come together in a real love match. In 1990, a century after the census bureau's famous observation of the frontier's imminent end, Dayton Duncan set out in an aging GMC Suburban to visit a large sampling of counties outside Alaska that have fewer than two persons per square mile--the bureau's old standard for places still in a frontier condition. There are 132 such counties. All are in the West. . . . The result of his tour is an insightful and entertaining book, troubling and funny and consistently illuminating. . . . Much of the book's charm comes from Duncan's sketches of people who choose to live 'miles from nowhere'--ranchers in the Nebraska sandhills, a New Mexican bar owner, a priest and United Parcel Service driver along the Texas-Mexico border, and the descendant of a Seminole Negro army scout in west Texas. In them he finds characteristics associated with the mythic frontier. . . . Great fun to read."--Montana Born and raised in a small town in Iowa, Dayton Duncan has been a reporter, humor columnist, editorial writer, chief of staff to a governor, and deputy press secretary for presidential campaigns. He lives in Walpole, New Hampshire. His books include Out West: An American Journey, also available in a Bison Books edition.Binding Type: Paperback

Great toy
Color: Blue+Orange
I have a little Yorkie that is constantly needing attention. This toy gives me about 15 minutes of peace. Every time he plays with it he loves it. He was scared of it at first, but then it started challenging him.

Fun for 1minute. 😞
Color: Blue+Orange
This is a fun toy that my puppy enjoyed for about 10 minutes. It pops open non stop. Also, I didn’t see anywhere in the description that “Strong chewers should not use”. It was destroyed waaaay too quickly. Charger port should be on outside w a remote for on off. It should be one solid piece so it can’t open. I would only recommend this toy for a dog no bigger than a chihuahua. I would attempt to return if it wasn’t already ruined. 😳😒

Fairly indestructible.
Color: Blue+Orange
Puppy loves them but the charge doesn’t last very long. They had not been chewed to bits in a week so they are not easily destroyed by a puppy. Cute.

A fun toy
Color: Orange
Our 6 week old pup is having a blast with this toy. It resembles a dying bird, so don't get it if that bothers you. It tweets and spins and flops with 3 different settings. Rechargeable is a bonus. The rope may not last long, but it is replaceable with paracord. Well worth the $10.

Color: Blue
Im glad i didnt buy this at full price. Fully charged and I kept having to charge it everyday, sometimes 2xs a day. The rope and loop is sturdy enough to last through his incessant chewing and now he just tosses it around n bops it with his nose. 3 functions were cool. I just wish this stayed charged for longer periods. I bought this as his crate toy vs eating his bed lol it was fun while it lasted
