Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 1:56 p.m. Not in Kansas anymore
There's not much to say about Kansas. I spent maybe 24 hours within the borders, that's about it. I came in from the west, drove east past sunflower fields off the interstate, ate at a McDonald's in the middle of the state (and nowhere, just a few fast food joints and gas stations on a country road off the exit ramp), drove past the Kansas U. campus, and found a hotel near Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill, or something. I ordered takeout from there and went back to my hotel room and watched ESPN on the day of the baseball trading deadline, when Randy Johnson went from the Mariners to the Astros. I missed out on a Royals game, I think, though they may have been on the road. I was probably still upset at having missed the Cubs and Rockies in Denver � I incorrectly thought that they had two more games when I pulled into town, when in reality my first full day there was the last game of the homestand. The next morning I left, heading east into Missouri, then north along the border into central Iowa, past John Wayne's home and eastward.
