Nope, always been a part of Missouri! I'm pretty sure the name comes from the name of the company that founded the city. There is also a Kansas City, Kansas, though. It's right across the border and is much smaller . More than you ever wanted to know about about Kansas . We're tied with Pittsburgh now with 16 games left!

Yeah, it's going really well so far! Enjoying it a lot.

I know that feeling exactly! It's been a lot tougher than I remember it being last year. Doing okay though so far. Hard to believe it's been three weeks already though!

Concert was amazing, of course!!!! They played Unnatural Selection and it was my first time hearing that live. It is absolutely spectacular live. The guitar is hard to describe.

I feel much the same way. I think President Obama made a mistake by saying using chemical weapons would be a "red line" and then ask Congress to authorize military force, instead of just doing it himself. I think it hurts the international credibility of the US. Although, no one here wants any military action. But we can't back off at this point, I don't think.
