I just Topeka'ed you...

In response to Topeka renaming itself Google, Kansas for the month of March, Google has decided to rename themselves Topeka for all day on April 1st. Google, I'm sorry I mean Topeka, has stated that these act has no influence on what cities will be chosen as test sites for the fiber optic experiment, they simply just wanted to get in on the fun and share a joke with Topeka, KS (since March is over in all... back to Topeka we go). Even if this gesture by Google, or Topeka if you will, do not have any effect on the outcome of the fiber optics experiment it shows that Topeka has a great sense of humor and recognizes how bad the community of Topeka wants to be apart of the experiment!

When in doubt, remember what Mayor Bunten said, "all roads lead to Kansas, not just yellow brick ones." So if you are planning on moving out of Kansas... beware that no matter where you go... you will ALWAYS end up back in Kansas!

Did I confuse anyone else as much as myself with the use of Google and Topeka simultaneously and having no idea which one I was referring to?

Death by barbed wire.. Ouch!

A Wichita girl was injured in a golf cart accident on Wednesday night when she crashed into a barbed wire fence. She died on Friday morning at the age of 14. If you have ever nicked your leg on some barbed wire you know how much that hurts. I can't imagine actually crashing into a barbed wire fence. Two of the girls friends that were with her were even unable to untangle her from the fence. I can not imagine being stuck, laying and waiting until help arrived. It's so sad that people die at such young ages...
