I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

Kansas has some weird stuff, for all the landscape is so boring.

I stayed in a motel there, where the motel office was FULL of cats. A lot of these old motels are nice but some of them can be scary, so the trick is to ask if you can see a room before you decide whether you want to stay there. I walked into the motel office and saw cats on every flat surface, but I could not smell cat litter anywhere. I knew the room would be OK so I took it withough inspecting it first. And it was. I was tempted to request s cat for my room, just to make it more home-like. :-)

And there's a sign at the Missouri-Kansas border, on US54 I think, that says "Welcome to Kansas. This is the yellow brick road." Looked like ordinary grey asphalt to me.

And in western Kansas, out near where the grass ends, there was a farm with thousands of sculptures made from scrap metal and old car parts, some with moving parts. They were caricatures of politicians and celebrities that the creator obviously disliked. I somehow suspect that neither of us would vote this guy's way on any issue in any election, but the sculptures were still interesting to see. I was especially amused by the Bill Clinton caricature with the saxaphone for a penis.

I'm gonna scan the postcards I got sometime today, hopefully. We'll see.

It's hysterical to me to talk to people who really still believe that Clinton's "scandal" was a matter of public interest. It's simply not our business.

Although Amish themselves do not drive, they are not above getting someone else to drive FOR them. They often take Greyhounds or pay people to drive them long distances. My ex mother-in-law often played chauffer to a few families.

Ah yes the Amish do so love the Greyhound bus line. Remembering back in the day when i had to pick up amanda from the cleveland station, they were all over the place. Like an amish convention.

Interesting.

And we didn't see any on the way back.

School!!! DAMN they sure start school out there early don't they!

They do. First Monday in August, I think.

What, are you the star attraction of show & tell? *grin* Or is she just introducing them to the freaks they'll meet in life?

*hugs*

I'm proud of being a freak! *giggle*

I'm sure she's introducing them to the freaks. It's a very conservative place. I was almost uncomfortable being there. And she loved it.

Hiya

Hey, *hugs*. Just got back from traveling myself. Glad to see you're feeling a little better about everything than when I left. You'll have to let me know what it's like out in colorado, given that I've never been there myself. Hope to get to talk to you sometime.
