pjost- Yep, similar climate and environment, similar immigrants who settled it, and similar Native American folks but different states. Funny how that works out, geography matters but so does history.

My dad grew up in the epicenter of "chislic" so even though I never lived in Hutchinson County, I've known chislic all my life. I've ate a lot of deer and antelope venison cubed up and cooked as chislic but pan fried is never as good as deep-fat fried. My bedroom town steakhouse and the racing sports bar both make some pretty mean beef chislic. Stop by sometime and I'll treat!!

Yep, bigburt, I pretty much keep my mouth shut when getting stopped for going a wee bit too fast. The ticket price for 1-10 over the speed limit is $125!! I can keep my mouth shut for that, a warning can go to a full citation in a hurry if I guy wants to have an attitude...
