I love small Kansas towns.
They have wide streets and no traffic.
Some are like small ghost towns.

Profile of Glen Elder, Kansas (city-data.com)
“We are a community of friendly, hardworking people that represent the
backbone, not only of Kansas but also America… We recognize our good
fortune in the beauty of sunsets and wheat fields, the smell of freshly tilled soil,
visiting with old friends and neighbors and the feel of a well-hooked fish.”
Quotation from Greg Linton, Mayor of Glen Elder
“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and
shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and
men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice.”
Quotation from Willa Cather, My Antonia
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORTHIE!!!
