Knew a real westerner couldn't be phooled. Ah, but Harry, he's an

crack his skull 'bout down the middle of his forehead if he touched one

Well, you could be fooled as Kansas is not the west.

What! Dodge City and Wichita wur NOT in the old west? Slap yur sides

Was the western part of the US, before they went really west. And my
parents are from the Mid-west, and mom grew up a mile from the Wyoming
border. Further west than Kansas. Still have a large range of mountains to
cross after Kansas to reach the real west.

And from Topeka, KS to Richmond, VA it is 1128 miles, while the other way
going west it is 1798 miles to San Francisco.

California gained statehood in 1850, making them part of western
history. One must remember that their part of western history was the
dudified part (need we mention San Fransisco today). Yes, I know Levis
were invented there. But the REAL west where men were men was in Texas,
injun territory, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Kansas. Reach for
leather, pahdnah!

Last indian war in the US was in California. And the gold rush brought a
bunch of pansies west? Other than white perverts Kansas biggest danger was
rabid skunks. OK Corral was a battle between a few wackos. White ones at
that. My great grandmother homesteaded in Nebraska. Lived in a Sodie for
while. The indians would stop to look in and sometimes come in to squat and
warm themselves at the fire. Most lived in peace.

Closer to the east than the west.
