And people claim there is nothing to do in Wichita, KS. On my grand tour through the states this summer I recently made a stop to visit cousin Kristian Strom. Running an online book selling business out of his basement and general entrepeneurship that he has been rocking since we were kids. Great to catch up after not seeing each other for several years we were only urged on in the craziness upon discovering that Indiana Jones was premiering at midnight on my last night in town. So of course we dropped all plans and got costumes together, not that either of us are huge Indiana Jones fans but rather immense fans of dress up. Of course we were the only people in costume and I even almost got arrested as a rent-a-cop nearly took me out for wielding a plastic cap gun, of course, only in Kansas. A great visit and a great chance to see a place in this country that people seldom think about, it was beautiful and even though tornados roll through the Kansas plains all the time, what's life without some excitement. 

Up next I am headed to the Badlands in SD to pick up the last member of the expedition and then its off for the east, somewhere.
