Aidan Huber interviews his paternal grandmother, Lorraine Huber, about life in rural Colorado and Utah, living in a coal mining town, differences between small towns and cities, and technological changes she has witnessed over time. Huber recalls her relationship with her pet dog and taking the schoolbus to high school. She discusses helping her grandparents on their farm in Colorado, where they raised livestock and grew crops. At the farm, she would pump water from a well, feed animals, and ride horses. Huber reflects on the popularity of hunting and fishing in Utah and Colorado and on the lack of a television or a telephone in her childhood home. She describes being raised by her uncle, a coal miner, and her aunt, who ran a boarding house for miners. During her adulthood, Huber moved to California and then Alaska, with her husband who was stationed there. She discusses methods of heating her home in Alaska and explains the technologies she encountered in the workplace, as an employee of a bank. Huber explains the cultural differences between urban and rural America.
