582.6 MILES: What is up with Kansas? Not much. I swear you can feel it when you cross the state line: these are the flatlands. It’s not like Texas is flat. I mean, you can see soooo far out without abstruction that it’s a little spooky. All I know is that as I finish this note, there are only 35.2 .iles between me and a bed. I’ll bet driving tomorrow is easier when I get more than three hours sleep!
