Introduction page to the book {Promehteus Lives} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

            "A Town Called Turin" was inspired by my sixteen days of backpacking in the Loess Hills of Western Iowa, one of the most beautiful places in the world. The funny thing about those hills, are that the people who live there do not realize the beauty and grandeur that surrounds them on a daily basis. They view those hills as an impediment to their farm machinery, and a factor that impoverishes their lives, but all that is changing.

            I camped three miles out of town and walked the dusty road in search of sustenance. The Turin Café is a place that I ate in for several days. I sought relief from the heat and dust and the ladies that ran the restaurant fed me so well.

           One of the waitresses read her horoscope aloud," a great philosopher will come to you today and you will feed him."  "Well I don't think that's likely to happen around here", she said with a laugh to the other waitresses.
