Somewhere there must be that “somewhere” we can all feel better about.

Kind of like my job in my neighborhood: making the neighbors feel better about themselves.

For most boring to drive through, I nominate Kansas. For most depressing landscape? Oklahoma. Everything seems….stunted or twisted there.

Well, sure, there are no mountains and no oceans.
And the motto of Lake City, I kid you not, is “Everything but a lake.”

But somehow this state managed to put the major thoroughfares of I-35 and I-80 though the most fugly boring areas you’d ever want to see.

For sheer slack jawed, deadpan dumb, however, I would kindly attract your attention to our neighbor, That Which Must Be Crossed to see mountains (at the cost of 9 hours of your life): Nebraska.

No contest.
