All i can say is this, if you have a case of insomnia get someone to drive you thru Kansas, insomnia cured. There is also some little town, I don't remember where it is at, but if you have ever seen the TV show "Eerie Indiana," well that is that town. Scared us both have to death. Anyway, when we crossed the stateline into Missouri I called my husband and told him I was clicking my heels together and I wasn't in Kansas any more and that I would be home in an hour or so depending on traffic. I don't think Bob Dole was all to happy with his state either, because I don't think he ever moved back there. lolBelindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9666550.post-71917652820608044042009-12-29T23:27:57.930-06:002009-12-29T23:27:57.930-06:00The farthest east I remember is Ft.

Maybe that helps us because we aren't tainted by those western Kansas experiences that seem to have scarred so many. In fact we still believe the drive from Topeka to Manhattan to be one of the prettiest we've seen. GO WILDCATS !!! (sorry HTF had to!) It is funny because moving to Kansas at 16 - I thought my life was over...you know all the farm kids driving tractors to school and other horrors I was afraid of...so yeah everything was a year or so behind on the trends from the west coast, but no one knew any better, and I had my best year of school ever, even counting college and preschool. So, the place I thought I'd hate the most I actually miss the most. life is funny.<br /><br />I guess I should start a new blog called <br />Ramblings inspired by other blogsr.l.secorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481687475843023534noreply@blogger.com
