Why? Is there something you haven't told Jespah, like you've taken a job there?

I never did speak Kansan, but I been there oncen, when I was little. We visited my aunt and uncle in Wichita, where he was doing something for Douglas Aircraft. He mostly did that in Santa Monica. Anyway, my memory of Kansas is a small back porch and my uncle showing me how to make home made ice cream with some giant barrel shaped thing that you turned a handle forever and then you got peach ice cream. So there, some Kansan --

peach ice cream

Is there really such a thing as to "speak" Kansas?

I thought they were among the no accent people like those in Missouri and Nebraska.

Yer gittin there, Germ. It's more of a lazy mindset, than a vernacular... Laughing

Think BIG pickup trucks, with BIG dogs ridin' in the back.
Lots o' cowboy boots.
Skoal rings on back pockets.
Denim insulated work clothes.
And miles and miles of wheat........ Cool
