I grew up in Ness County (western part of state) and now live in Reno County.
I went to Greer Tech in Chicago to learn auto mechanics, and spent a stint in the Army courtesy of the draft. Also a year living and working in Missouri. The rest of my life has been in Kansas.
Being 400 miles wide Kansas is rather diverse. Where I am now seems to have sort of a micro climate and gets neither the ice nor snow that nearby areas receive.
To me the south central portion of the state is nearly ideal. Plenty of moisture, about 40" with reasonable humidity. Any further east and the humidity is uncomfortable during the summer.
We have a long growing season which is wonderful for gardening.
People here are still friendly although people don't wave at each other as they do in the western part of the state.
Yep, Kansas is a pretty good place. Sesquicentennial anniversary is this month. A special stamp is being issued, a forever stamp so buy lots.
How many realize that Kansas Territory used to go all the way west to the Rocky Mountains with Denver being in K.T. before Colorado?

Viewing the old maps at the link below is really an eye opener. Example, K.T. wasn't always Kansas.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
