Someone at work had a roll of carpet in excellent shape. They wanted rid of it. I don't turn down free carpet. Hell, I don't turn down ANYTHING free. The problem is, this free carpet was in Lenexa, KS.
I work on the East side of Kansas City, MO. Lenexa is somewhere in God-knows-where Kansas. I think it's almost to Colorado, but nobody agrees with me. It's a long way.
So, I took Kevin's truck to work, and left from there to find God-knows-where Kansas. I found the way just fine, but felt lost the whole time. I got this from my Dad, I think. If I cross the state line, I'm lost. I hate driving in Kansas. I maneuvered Fort Worth with no problem...St. Louis, too. I can drive in Memphis, in the dark, in the rain. I can drive in Colorado Springs, no sweat. I HATE driving in Kansas.
Anyway, I picked up the aforementioned carpet and headed home. I saw a sign that said something like "get the hell OUT!" or it might have been "leaving Kansas", I'm not sure. Then, 100 yards or so later, I saw "Welcome home, weary traveler" or it might have been "Welcome to Missouri", I'm not sure.
Here's the question: Where was I between those signs? Mexico? Canada? England? Just please, tell me what lies between the signs.

It's the thick line you see on maps.

hahahahaha...Mexico. Did you see Jesse's family?! No? Then it might not have been Mexico...lol
I never turn down anything free either. Well, maybe, but it'd have to be pretty bad for me to say no....

Only a truly thrifty person would drive through a space/time continium for free carpet. I'm impressed!!
