    Somehow it doesn't surprise me that it was real windy in Topeka - it's just about smack dab in the middle of tornado alley. Now if you see a tin woodsman, a cowardly lion, and a brainless scarecrow.... that's windy.

    Are you here to stay, or just to visit?

                It's about 700 miles from Topeka to Houston according to google maps. It's too bad Houston couldn't get one of the space shuttles. That's something I'd like to see. I think the nearest one to Topeka is at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, but that's twice as far as Houston.
