Kansas Blows

Today we left Arkansas, briefly passed through Missouri, and made our way to Kansas. We quickly found out that Kansas does suck as much as everyone says because about 50 miles into it Drew got a speeding ticket. He got pulled over for going 78 in a 65. Drew tried to explain to the officer that he was only going that fast because the two lanes were converging and he was trying to pass the little old lady on her cell phone. The cop didn’t buy it- he got a ticket anyway. When Drew was telling the story to my Dad he explained “I had to pass her, if I had slowed down and gotten behind her it would’ve been emasculating. Dad said, “So now you have to pay a hundred bucks for passing the little old lady to save your balls. But you had to pass her- you only have one ball left.

Tonight we’re staying at Fall River State Park in Kansas. Before setting up camp we stopped to play in a hay field where Bogey got to run free and impress us with his hay-bail jumping skills.

Tomorrow we’ll drive the rest of Kansas, which Drew and I now call Kansuckass. After that we’ll cross into the state that will become our new home, unless we don’t find jobs, run out of money, and have to come home with our tails between our legs…

Drew’s fun fact: A chicken with red earlobes will produce brown eggs, and a chicken with white earlobes will produce white eggs
