He reports from roadside in Midland, Michigan: “I stood on the edge of the road — right on the white line — and my large hat and shirt kept blowing around as the traffic zipped at 55 mph past my back,” says Maciag. “The farmer came by to say that he was going to finish plowing in the cool of the evening. It was 83 degrees.”
