As one who grew up and returned to Kansas (the latter probably a

football fans are insufferable.
I lived in Manhattan, Kansas for a number of years. Wheat; as far as the
eye can see there's wheat. Driving anywhere west of there, still in the
middle of nowhere, a grain elevator will appear on the horizon early in the
morning (sunrise). By mid-day, it's still on the horizon and not much
bigger than it was at sunrise.

South is Ind...India...Indianno. Sorry, can't say it. Trust me, there's
nothing to the south.
Missouri is to your south. To get to Indiana, you cross the "great void"
to your southeast. It's still in the middle of nowhere, just elsewhere in
the middle of nowhere, but you don't know you're nowhere else because corn
is grown here too, not wheat. There is nothing south of Indiana; one risks
falling off the edge of the Earth going south and trying to cross the Ohio
River [??; I think it's actually an ocean].
