Now that’s a mouthful! Having said that, I think I get the picture.
People think the Midwest is flat and boring, but we have our spots of beauty, and fewer of the types you mentioned, so it works for me. As long as I get to see the family now and again, and the Gulf beaches, I can survive here just fine.

Other places might have other plants than wheat, but you can’t beat your sunrises and sunsets.
