When you nearly reach the top of the rise, you pray for something, anything different, but all you you'd get is another rise that looks just like it. Over and over. Ugh.

Not to be defensive at all in comparing boringness of states because I really couldn't care less about either state (outside of Lawrence, of course
), but it reminds me of my drive through Illinois between St. Louis and Chicago a few months ago... and it was worse than the drives through Iowa because Illinois is a 65mph state and I was trying to watch my speed after having been pulled over a couple of times in the recent past.
It wast the most brutal 300 miles I've driven in a long, long time. Then again, I haven't driven through Kansas at 65mph lately.
