Dan Flitner

I interviewed Dan Flitner. Dan is a Wyoming native who now ranches in Oregon. Here he is to tell us a bit about himself, his livelihood, and a moment he'll remember forever. There's nothing like a big storm to reminds us of our smallness. Dan knows folks who've been hit by lightning. Some lived. Some did not. His dad's buddy had his quarters and dimes melted right in his pocket. That happened to a friend of mine here in Montezuma County, too. Smells are pungent after a storm. Yes, there is the smell of ozone, a lightning-generated gas. But the soil and plants give off smells, too. Around here, it's the sweet, rose-y smell generated by the sage.
