Here: great wide open

There: smog, traffic and celebs

No beach, a lack of jobs

You agree Kansas is best?

Oh, obviously this is what my family does at Christmas Eve. We had over a hundred for four-letter words. I enjoyed faking like I was going to use dick, cunt, or slut in front of an eight-year-old.
