Apprehension and stress is growing well around here.

The one positive is some amazing deprecating humor. The locals really know how to dish out the dark stuff. I would say it's so funny it brings tears but that's just reality setting in.

Our citizens being so prone to rambling and extending themselves on the frontier will through necessity be constrained to limit their extent to the west to the borders of the Missouri and Mississippi, while they leave the prairies incapable of cultivation to the wandering and uncivilized aborigines of the country."

"This region which resembles one of the ancient steppes of Asia has not inaptly been termed 'The Great American Desert.' It spreads forth into undulating and treeless plains and desolate sandy wastes, wearisome to the eye from their extent and monotony. It is a land where no man permanently abides, for at certain seasons of the year there is no food for the hunter or his steed."

They hated their future kin.

That's the conclusion I came up with.

The upside is my family can travel anywhere else and it feels like a step up. Wichita is a vacation!
