Ad Astra Per Aspera, 1861-2006

Posted on by


Happy Kansas Day. This post’s title is the Kansas motto; translated, it means To the stars through difficulties. On this day in 1861, Kansas was admitted to the Union.

I’ve lived in 5 states, and have no idea when any of the other 4 were admitted to the Union. I guess that’s because of all the places I’ve lived, I like Kansas the best.

The sight of rolling waves of wheat, stirred up by the always-on Kansas wind, is a breathtaking sight indeed, and one I really miss.
