      I find it hard to believe that Kansas has any mountain at all, much less one taller than their buildings.

      Lol. When you wrote that, it made me think the same thing. but.......

      Mount Sunflower, although not a true mountain, is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Kansas.[1] At 4,039 feet (1,231 m), it is 3,300 feet (1,010 m) above the state's topographic low point, which lies on the opposite side of the state. It is located between the communities of Kanorado and Weskan in Wallace County, less than half a mile (0.8 km) from the state border with Colorado and is close to the lowest point in Colorado.

        I worked with a very Irish urologist who had a daughter named "Kelly."

        She married a guy...

                  Disgusting and similar to what was used on 1600's/1700's sailing ships. At the back of the ship, they had open hole in the deck and a long rope that reached down to the water. After doing your duty, you would wipe yourself with the end of the rope, and then drop it back in the water. :eek (learned that from one of the books I read)

                    That's probably at least as sanitary as the Roman solution.
