I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

I always wanted one of them. Must not make good pets.
Even Missouri has them! As far north as I-70, saw one near Wentzville last week.
Also known as "possum on the half-shell" they're kinda cute, but a face only a mother could love.
I have heard that South Carolina has them...I have never seen one! Never. I heard they stink. Wait never mind, I think I'm thinking of Bigfoot.
Seriously though, they say they are here, coyotes too.
It's rare, but they do carry leprosy. Handle with disposable gloves!
