My story really is incredible. It's got a bunch of story lines - the garage-built thing. I'm an older guy. It's out in the middle of nowhere, plus the flat Earth. The problem is it brings out all the nuts also, people questioning everything. It's the downside of all this.Mike Hughes

Why is this so hard?'Jimmy Graham
