Just keep telling yourself that, when the tornadoes are
coming. Or when it's over 100 F for three straight
months in the summer.

We may not stay here forever, but for now, it's just
fine. And not all that flat, which surprised me!

Nebraska isn't Kansas. It is hilly in the east, flatter
in the south, and full of sand in the northwest.

AAAargh! Kansas is also hilly in the east (and wooded),

It's true. Kansas City isn't flat.

smoothing out
to the long rolling Flint Hills prairie between Topeka
and Salina (two miles from bottom to top of the hills,
and you can see forever from the top), and finally
rising up to complete flatness around Ellsworth for the
last 250 miles to Goodland on the border. That's the
part that drives tourists to distraction, and they often
lose sight of the fact that the next 100 miles of
Colorado are every bit as flat and even bleaker, until
they reach the foothills of the Rockies.

By the time they reach the Colorado border, they're
catatonic, and don't wake up until the car crashes in to
a mountain.

Rhonda in San Diego (Go, Jayhawks!)

San Diego has a lot of the charm of LA, but little (or at
least less) of the dark underbelly.

Home port to half the Marine Corps _doesn't_ have a seedy
underside?

Did I say doesn't? I sais little (or at least less), which,
in fact, I submit is true.

Not bloody likely. (My mother hated living in San Diego
because of all the Marines wandering the streets.)

Marines (male or female) are less likely to be turning
tricks on street corners dressed as nuns. Welcome to
Hollywood.

Ok, sure, but where's the dark side you were talking about?

Heh.

Maybe it wouldn't be a good habit to get into but I don't see
the dark side here.

You've never been to the freak show that is Hollywood. Obviously.

Have you ever walked down the strip and turned onto Paradise? In Las
Vegas. Or some corners downtown. Or walked along the beachfront in
Honalulu. Or walked through the corner of Chapel and Howe in New
Haven, back in the Eighies. They cleaned up Chapel and Howe.

I do not consider hookers, even hookers in bizarre costumes, to be
dark side material. At most, they are part of the backdrop. I think
you missed some life experiences you should be delighted to have
missed.
