I decided to focus on Rawlins County, Kansas for this week’s Kansas Tuesdays post. Saw this on the Rawlins County website: Rawlins County Museum and Historical Society https://visitrawlinsco.com/recreation/. I used to work in Rawlins County in 1985. I was not familiar with the museum or historical society at the time as most of my days were busy working back then. Another claim to fame is the art design creator of Smokey the Bear donated paintings to the museum. Again, check with the museum before visiting due to possible COVID-19 restrictions.

Oh, I find Kansas so hot…

Could be worse. As someone who grew up in a coastal city, the heat was less than Kansas, but factoring in the Heat Humidity Index, it felt hotter in my hometown. I find it funny when people in Wichita complain about 30% humidity during the summer.

I suppose you are right!

Each place has its advantages and disadvantages. I may never be able to afford it, but if I do, I would be in Kansas during the summer months and my hometown during the colder parts of the year as Wichita can hit 0 F or below some winters.
My aunt and uncle loved Colorado Springs, but hated the winters so they did the snow bird thing of being in Arizona during winter time, returning to the Springs when it was warmer.

I find the Springs rather temperate even in the winter. Sure, It gets cold, but most of the time it is not frigid.

My aunt was born in my hometown. She also had medical issues that made her unable to tolerate cold weather.
Before I had several cases of frostbite, I would run around in short pants and a T-shirt. After too many cases of frostbite of different levels, I find that 60 F weather is cold enough I need a light jacket or windbreaker to keep me warm.

I wear layers throughout the year.
