I love Kansas. Beats the hell out of my home state of Missouri these days.

Are U in St Loo?

Is PG being swamped by fellas? Understandable, really...

Of course.......

So, today, after reading Russian short stories at the gym, I decided to hit the lake. It's 38, sunny, no wind. Wife says, "You will have a heart attack." I says, "Good way to die." There was 1/8 inch of ice in the SE bayou......am I an idiot for breaking the ice? Lake Sailor, what U say? It's only a 20 min paddle....

Too flat, no mountains

This is a traditional Shrovetide bun. Well, the original would have almond paste inside, but many opt for raspberry jam instead - my Dom included. In addition to whipped cream, of course! Actually the bun is an ordinary bun, it's the fillings that make it for this special occasion

The thing is, I haven't eaten these go years, because I haven't ever met a decent gluten free bun - whether homemade or store-bought. But now I got a good one Uncharacteristically bought a frozen dough. Good enough even for those who don't need gluten free.

That sure looks tasty!

I like that. I find the flat openness very soothing. I've always said Kansas has plenty of things to see. The key is, you have to not look for it.

I'm heading to the dreamland. Good night! (See, @B2fromA2looking4U - before midnight though it's Friday!)

Growing up my mom & pop were from Vermont & New Hampshire.

I grew up outside of St. Louis, lived in the city for a couple of years. All the white people in St. Louis hyperventilate about crime constantly, but if you use common sense, your chances of being a victim of violent crime is almost zero. I lived 2.5 years in St. Louis city and I never feared for my safety.

I left Missouri over a decade ago, and every day, Missouri gives me more reason to thank my stars that I did.

 

[Paul_Chance]

Goodnight @Strixaluco !

That is how I feel about leaving Portland almost 30 years ago.

I think people are evenly divided between "I miss my hometown/state/country" and "Fuck that place, I'm glad I escaped". I'm in the second category myself.

Is it possible to be both

I'm both, I have no living family left to miss or be envious of

 

[Paul_Chance]

I don't think it's possible to be both, in regards to a place.

I pull my rig down to the rivers........like Huzzah and Jack's Fork.

I mean I miss my home town and the homelyness of it but I don’t miss the fucking weather

Yes - I miss places in Oregon, but not Portland.

I miss Boston but not the rest of MA

 

[Trubbycat]

Bounced around a lot as a kid but have lived in NJ more or less for decades.

Pennsylvania was hell, but I love Ohio now
