Yesterday the weather gave us a record high for February 2nd. It was 79 degrees here.
Later in the day there were several records broken in the land of football. KANSAS City Chiefs won the super bowl for the first time in fifty years. Andy Reid won his 222 game on 2/2/2020. In his second season in pro football, Patrick Mahomes won MVP.
We know Kansas is a confusing place. We have a river that the rest of the country calls the "Arkansaw." Here it is known as the ArKANSAS River. Then the city of Kansas City straddles another river with half the town in Missouri, where the Chiefs play and half the town is in Kanas.
We are mostly flat but have some rolling Flint Hills in the east and some hills in the west on the way to the Rocky Mountains. Mostly it's quiet and not densely populated. There are some drawbacks such as taking fifteen years to catch up with the rest of the country on alcohol consumption. We were so dry that if your flight was over Kansas, no alcohol could be served until you got over and away from our borders. I guess that lets you know how high state laws go around here.

You had summer for a day!
ReplyDeleteSo warm! We're having more snow tomorrow and Wednesday. Nebraska is much like Kansas geography-wise. I remember going to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City many, many times when we lived in Omaha. In fact, Dennis' parents took us to KC a couple of weeks before we got married. Most of my extended family including my grandparents are buried on the Kansas/Nebraska state line at The State Line Cemetery. I love the midwest. Our family in Omaha were thrilled that the Chiefs won.
