Kansas: Not Only Tornadoes

Let me tell you a little something about Kansas pride. Kansas pride, once you get past all the KU rubbish, has a lot to do with the weather. Not only is Kansas smack-dab in the middle of Tornado Alley, but it also regularly experiences thunderstorms of epic proportions and, in today's case, large amounts of snow at very little notice. The thing about Kansans, as I've witnessed today, is that they consider themselves extremely capable in extreme weather, and will proudly flaunt their suburban four-wheel-drive trucks, overcoats, and snow boots in the parking lots of the local schools, which will by no means close even though the snow is five inches deep and counting.

But not all of us have four wheel drive trucks. Like me, for example.

I hope I can get home. I was going to write a whole big thing about how I finished series 3 of Robin Hood yesterday and it blew my mind, but I don't really have the motivation all of a sudden. Suffice it to say, I cried my eyes out. Now I understand why BBC chose to cancel the show after the 3 series, but it still was quite an emotional parting.

Now excuse me while I go have a heart attack thinking about how I'm going to get home.
