Yep.

Apparently I now am in Kansas.

Turn on my tablet. First up a Kansas city Star report on Trump’s China debacle.

And a weather report update from KMBC…dang it’s hot over there.

They stole my AR.

And I thought this was going to be an announcement about boycotting International Talk Like A Pirate Day…

I find it awfully bold of them to move me in the dark of night.

No announcement. No official invite…

Rude!

They couldn’t do it in the Light of Day, you’d catch on quickly.

First Buffy St Marie and now you. I don’t care, you are my symbol of Ark. And Sam Walton.

A couple of years ago, my iphone became convinced that I lived in Indianapolis and I could not convince it otherwise. Anytime I picked my iphone up, it brought up multiple threads about the goings on in Indianapolis, festivals and current events and other things on offer there. After awhile it stopped, but I never found out why it began. Or why it stopped, come to that.

Weird. I have nothing against Indianapolis, but no way would I spend an inordinate amount of time there.

Same.

I have nothing against Kansas.

Well, except…they are an abbreviated version of Arkansas. 😁

I thought Arkansasians bowed down towards the location of the First Store 3 times a day?

Yeah, we love the Waltons down here in Arkansas.

The folks that ruined every mom and pop joint, hardware store, fabric store, hobby store and feed store/garden center in the state.

Yeah, buddy we love them.

Watch them give to campaigns and charities that are sketchy and over work/under pay their employees.

Jerks.😡
