Liberal and proud

Here is one of the most insightful sentiments I've ever read from a local blogger describing life in the Midwest or at least a great take on those long, awesome road trips people from around here get to take sometimes.

For me, living in an area so dominated by vast expanses of earth and sky provided a great deal of perspective.

Who would have known that you can attain that kind of perspective simply from visiting podunk Liberal, Kan.? I gotta get outta this basement.
