More Learnings

1. Riding lawnmowers are a form of transportation, faster than horses, slower than cars.
People here have lawns the size of pastures. In order to mow them in less than a week, one
needs a riding lawnmower. They also can get you from point A to B in a fairly short time and
I don't think you have to have a driver's license. I could see some kid having a booming
business going from place to place mowing lawns. The mowers here are kind of like ATV's in
other places only they actually do serve a useful purpose.

2. Winter is not necessarily over even when you have days in the 80's. Case in point, we just
experienced some new record lows of 15- 18 degrees with wind chill of hmmm, well very
cold.

3. There are some serious RV camper type folks that start camping early. The park by our lake
is already starting to fill up. I would guess there are roughly 30 RV's of various sizes and
shapes already staked out.

4. Kansas needs more coffee shops.
