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.

Will in New Haven

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.

Heh. If you say so.
