Pennsylvania VS Kansas

If you are from Kansas and have ever left the state I'm willing to bet someone has said to you "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!" Which when said enough times can be extremely annoying. Here in PA I found myself thinking it. First of all do not ask for pop. You'll get a funny look. Or even better do not even think about talking about the classic and beloved game corn hole. You'll get even funnier looks and after explaining end up having to talk about this game they have created called "baggos". I guess it's new cause I've never heard of it! Kansas, sweet, beautiful, golden, Kansas. It's very green here which is nice, but I think gold has a higher price on it. Plus we've got black gold in them fields (oil). In Kansas we have beautiful wild sunflowers growing all over. Here they have purple flowers. So I guess you could say the state of Pennsylvania knows the true meaning of EMAW! Go K-State! The people themselves probably don't know that though. I personally try to sport as much K-State clothes as possible. I am proud to show off the power cat, even though people assume it's a jacked up version of the Penn State logo. One nice thing about here though is if you wanna go to the beach you can easily spend your weekend at the shore. But on those nights there can you sit under a sky full of bright stars? Ad Astra Per Aspera. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state though it's just not Kansas, not home. There is something truly breath taking about the flint hills and how the golden waves seem to go on forever. So I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore y'all, but I will be someday.
