In a county that was littered with post offices, there are now only 5 left. Durward Dixon, Mayor of Elida, Pop 200, blames the dearth of water. When they lay internet cables in Elida and break the water line, the mayor and the judge run out to the edge of town to turn off the water supply and then help fix the broken main. On the plains around them are signs of hard times in the 40's and 50's like the dairy that used old mattress springs as a containment area for their milk cows. The signs of the future for this place loom over those mattresses - huge farms of wind machines.
