She hopped in for a swim, and he looked on in wonderment as she steadied herself with her toes against the pool wall and stretched out to float serenely on her back, her long brown hair making a slow swirl in the blue water and her arms outstretched like a cross.

Watne is a solid 44-year-old of Norwegian heritage, a father of three with closely cropped hair the color of khakis accidentally laundered with a red T shirt. An agriculture expert at the Farmers Union, Watne knows milling so well he can tell you how pizza dough will turn out differently if it's made from bread flour vs. all-purpose flour vs. pizza flour, which I didn...
