"The most wonderful time of the year".....Balderdash!

A lot of Californians and Texans here. A lot.
What do you a Texan that moves to Colorado?........................................... A Cotex.
Kansas has the most unique scenery in the world. You see for a hundred miles and still not see a damm thing.

Okay I'm done

I like the sound of that view in Kansas. As I get older the less I want to see people, even the large-breasted and pretty faced kind. But, I asked the the cars if I could move us to a state with snow in the seasons and they said ABSOLUTELY NOT. Hey, I tried...

I'm not going to read all 7 pages but why is this thread so long? Is everyone trying to bring Kern back from the brink of suicide?

Greg's not going anywhere. Especially with that new 5 speed he's going to install? He's get WAY too much to live for...

One thing I heard about Kansas....There is a beautiful woman behind every tree.

Holy cow guys, I am just so grateful to so many here. Seriously, I am....
but I know I ain't nobody, too. If this year has done anything to me, it has humbled the living hell out of me (which ain't a bad thing, if it needed doing).

All the same, I know there won't be much remembering going on once I kick for good - no kids of my own to fight over my possessions with the wife over and they won't have to rent out the high school gym for my funeral
(if there even is one at all).
All I can do at this point is live what I got left without doing any damage and try to make everyone I run across smile or even chuckle a little (and of course, not leave a mess for the wife to clean up).

My wife's grandkids and daughter are coming in Friday. I'll do my usual "stay out of the way unless my cage is rattled" routine....
you know, like back in school days, when you kept quiet unless called upon by
the teacher.

Ed, sounds like we’re living the same life, only I’ve got a stepson, not a stepdaughter. And my Plymouth is 3 years older.

Not true... Lotta cottonwoods in Kansas... Not allot of beautiful women.... Not even allot of good looking women.... To much snow in the winter, to damn humid in the summer... And did anyone mention TORNADOS!!!!

Spent a year there... Don't miss any of it....

The joke was that there aren't many trees there, hence, very few beautiful women.
It looked pretty barren when I drove through in 2007.

Don't get me wrong, it ain't a bad gig. At all.

Oh, I got it.. But there are more trees than you think..

 

[moparmarks]

Not many trees in the western 2/3 of the state except for the clusters of evergreens around the farm houses planted for wind and snow block. The eastern 1/3 has more trees and higher humidity. I've drove I-70 across the state probably about 30 times. Also drove US 50 and US 36 all the way across which I though was going to take forever.

It was sarcasm, lol. I’m born and raised here. Family and career keeps me here. The state is definitely going to **** quick. We’re looking at relocating to Florida in 10years. We’l see how that pans out.

Forty some years ago, at the start of my trucking industry career, I drove 48 states for Allied Van Lines out of Pennsylvania. Outbound loads were frequently from retirees who could finally afford to pull up stakes and move from northern winters to sunbelt destinations. Return loads from Florida and the southwest came in similar volumes - folks who who gave up the beautiful climate because of the pull of family connections they had left in the northeast. I wonder of this pattern continues today...
