Amused and/or alarmed in Kansas.

You can either be amused or alarmed by what's going on, or a healthy dose of both. Kevin Doel, founder of TK Magazine and president of Talon Communications Group, shares the stuff that amuses and alarms him.

We're Chillin' is Kansas

The AP did a story on the 20 most and least economically stressed counties in the country. California has 7 of the Top Ten most economically stressed counties, while Kansas has 4 of the Top Ten least economically stressed counties.

In a related subject, I was talking to a guy the other day who moved here from Boston. He sold his $450,000 house in Boston and came here with that cash-in-hand and used half of it to buy a much bigger house on a ridge overlooking our beautiful Lake Shawnee. How smart is that?

In a way, I wouldn't want everybody in these overpriced markets to figure that out and move here, but I sure would like to see some savvy business owners come to the realization that they could operate here at a fraction of the cost as they could on the edges -- and their employees could have a great life with a much lower cost of living.

And all of that without the STRESS too!
