Somewhere different: Lake Olathe

Today, instead of boring you with political babble, we thought we'd pick out somewhere at random that seems rather relaxing and freshing.

Of course, we could just bore you to death with more of the usual, since it IS Tuesday, but why not give our readers a break? Especially after the hooplah around the big Democratic Presidential candidate debate.

According to the satellite imagery from our friends at Google Earth, Lake Olathe seems like a nice place to take a dip. Apparently, a favorite stop for the locals, it even comes with a neat map of the facilities adjacent to the lake. Gotta give someone a pat on the back for doing that.

Naturually, it seems like a really nice place to go cool off with friends and loved ones, instead of roasting in the Lowcountry or sitting cooped up in this office. On a day like this, it wouldn't take much to make me come a'runnin'.

Doing fun things ... or doing Tuesday, what would YOU rather be doing? So don't go calling me nuts.

Experts say it's going to be a long, long way to Friday, so all of you kick back and relax a little today. It's gonna be a long week ...

    not a problem, and i'm glad you enjoy the "sidetrip".

    since i work a very non-political job, it helps me get a different take on the political games, and as such, i try to help others see a world beyond the here and now. so, you'll get these off-the-beaten-path visits, as well as my album reviews.

    we're more than politicians - or at least i hope we are.

    Actually this lake is near Kansas City and while I have not been on the lake I have seen it. Check out Carter Lake Iowa almost in the middle of Omaha Nebraska for a strange one. The river changed course and it is a community that is separated from the state of Iowa by the new course of the river. It is a oxbow lake. Serious take a look and figure it out.

    Mr. Capps, you can not escape your responsibilties to your ex wife, no matter how far you run.

    Responsibilities to my ex-wife? Huh? You talking about the $25,000 a month in alimony?

    Dude - she's your ex-freakin-wife, what the hell do you owe her?

    Who is that moron? I say you throw his or her ass off a bridge somewhere.

    Anon 1043, the only West Ashley precinct that I've ever polled watched was St Andrews 24, which votes at CE Williams.

    When I poll-watched there in 1999, I was by myself. I haven't had, or needed, anyone to poll watch with me.

    As to the rest of your comment speculating about my ex-wife ... that's way out of line. Which is why I responded to your comment, and then deleted it.

    This blog will not be a forum for personal insults. Except against me, and only when they're entertaining.

    Who is this guy Jimmy Carter
  11. Earl Capps 24/7/07 21:56
    Beats me. I've never been there, but maybe one day I will.

    Wanna go skinny-dipping there? That'll put a little lust in your heart. It might offend Jimmy Carter though.
