If the Shire really were in Kansas, that'd be the most interesting thing about Kansas.

The first Florida McDonald's franchise was started by Fritz Casper.
The Casper family, including Allison and brother Blake Casper, now operate 53 stores in Florida, including the decidedly different Oxford Exchange across from The University of Tampa as well as the Stovall House on Bayshore Boulevard, which is now a members only social club.
I worked for sibling Tom Casper's law firm for five years in the 1980's while I went to college in Tampa.
So you got a lot of experience along with happy meals

Yeah, but it puts roughly Utah as Numenor, and California as Valinor.  As far as explaining a lot, that's one step forward and two steps back.

He could've been solving them himself instead of preaching to me and making memes to be discovered 300 years later.
