I was thinking of touring the 25 miles from my house to see the Royals kick the **** out of the Giants tonight. But then again, I will be quite comfy on my couch and have a whole lot more money in the bank.
We are going to a Chiefs game next month. I haven't spent $8 for a cup of beer since.................well since I was at a Chiefs game, now that I think about it.
Here is a photo of our curve in Kansas. Also, the fallacy of "our tree" can be repudiated by the huge grove of trees seen in the background near the curve. FWIW, this is as close to the curve as I felt comfortable before I broke out in a cold sweat thinking about negotiating it. I pushed the bike back about 100 yards to a side road, carefully turned around and rode back home. Maybe next year.
The last photo, which shows that we have more than one curve, warns of a precarious stretch of road near our home. It was obviously designed by a madman on LSD. No one in their right mind would put that many curves so close together.
In all seriousness, KS has some very nice roads and scenery. No, you won't find mountains or the Grand Canyon, but it is beautiful just the same. Ya just gotta look a little harder and learn to appreciate more subtle things.
Here is a link to some photos of Kansas scenery that might change your mind about KS. OTOH, here's another link that proves that KS actually is flatter than a pancake.
