giving up the key..

This topic reminds me of the movie, "The Straight Story," a 1994 movie that's a TRUE story about a man who, because of age and health issues, no longer had his license or a car, but wants to reconcile with his ailing brother who he hasn't seen in 10 years, so rides his recently purchased 30 yr. old lawn mower 240 miles across Iowa to Wisconsin. It stars Richard Farnsworth as Alvin, and Sissy Spacek as his daughter. To me, he is the quintessential Midwestern, and it's a wonderful story!

It is a great movie. I knew the story already and remember the filming. That documentary had ( has) a life of its own.
