Egg,
When your boss asks you if you want to travel to Bird City, KS (the only Bird City in the entire United States), you have to say, "HECK YES I DO." And so I did. (I work for a moving company, and two people were moving from Bird City. I have no idea why they would want to.)
I stopped in Norton for two reasons:
1) I'd never been, and it seemed homey. (It was.)
2) I saw a Pamida and flipped out, because my friend and I have funny inside jokes from there.
Highway 36 is gorgeous.
